Ah, nice. I think that's exactly what I was trying to describe. Thanks for the suggestion!
Though, I think the git forge 'backend' + "Static CMS" frontend seems a bit more featureful and slick. I think I'm going to keep going down that path instead for now. Good to have a backup of exactly what I originally thought I wanted though.
grav is another option for what you were looking for. cli with optional web interface. run local and generate static sites or on a web server (like a traditional cms) https://getgrav.org
for a static site generator that runs locally (with local or git storage), check out https://jamstack.org/generators/ for lots of other options.
I run a static site using Hugo, Gitea, Gitea Runners, Cloud Front, and S3.
Do you just use the gitea web editor for that? (I assume it has one right?) Does it provide a nice markdown-aware editor?
I use a local text editor and push the git repository, which triggers automation to generate and publish the content. vscode is my editor for that work.
Hugo calls these sorts of things “frontends” and has a list here: https://gohugo.io/tools/frontends/
I haven’t had great luck with any of them personally.
Github
@azdle maybe Ghost fits what you're looking for?

Nifty. At first blush just making a static clone of a dynamic site doesn't feel as elegant as using a code forge editor, but I'll keep that idea in mind if I find the editing experience (images and whatnot) to be too clunky with the gitea suggestion.
@azdle yeah understandable .I've had a good experience with just editing files locally (markdown or html) too. in case you miss some niceties of your local IDE
@azdle as in, edit locally, preview locally, push with git
Gotcha, I'm trying to find something that doesn't require me to use a local editor. I want to give myself as smooth of an opportunity as possible to write small thoughts. That's my current setup and even that little bit of friction seems to keep me from writing. (Or that's my current excuse anyway...)
Inused to use movabletype to so this back in the day
Something like next.js?
You can all the config and content of a gohugo blog in github and it built and hosted by netlify. For the local dev, hugo server.
That's also my setup (just with gitlab) and it works very well. Only I deploy to my own host. I use the gitlab web editor sometimes, to quickly write stuff down, it also works well if you're used to writing markdown.
I use my own gogs/gitea for now. I need to check if I need to change since the name issue.
And as CI, I use drone.
GitHub to host. Chatgpt to generate quick and dirty code if you’re not great at coding and don’t want a wysiwyg editor.
