Grav

The Grav CMS also internally uses Markdown for the page contents and generates static files: https://getgrav.org/ They do use YAML FrontMatter for attaching metadata so the CMS knows how to process certain pages (e.g. Page title, page type etc.), but it isn't too complicated in practice: https://learn.getgrav.org/17/content/content-pages#page-file They also have an admin plugin, which you can use if you prefer a more traditional workflow, even if it just generates the same file format under the hood: https://learn.getgrav.org/16/admin-panel/introduction I'm actually using an ancient version of Grav for my own blog, although I had to put the admin path behind additional auth (in addition to the one it already provides), for safety: https://blog.kronis.dev/ I really like hybrid systems like that: a CMS for blogging or just writing in general that's based on Markdown, generates static files for decent performance, but is also extensible with additional functionality, and also has a decent web UI if you want one. (there are probably other CMSes like that out there, or more generic solutions, too).
