If you don't mind some self promotion:

I made a tiny, markdown-based blogging solution called Markblog. (https://github.com/olaven/markblog)

No frontend framework. Just Markdown. With Github Pages/Github Actions you'll have hosting and automatic building as well (https://olaven.org/out/guides/blog_with_git_and_markdown.htm...)

This is the blogging platform i prefer and I hope it can be of use for someone else :-)

I think distill https://rstudio.github.io/distill/ looks very promising. My only issue with it is I don't know much R and I really don't have any desire to learn much more than just loading and plotting data.

I've checked it out and believe that it is excellent for people trying to visualize their findings in R. Thanks!

I recently re-platformed my personal site onto Hugo, and it's really nice. You can easily use GitHub to host, and posts are in markdown.

Templating is pretty simple and as close to plain html markup as I think you can reasonably get. Outputs flat files that you could put anywhere.

Totally reduced friction to post, no server processes or database to babysit and the binary to build it is one versioned package. I will be able to build it for years without worrying too much. Can't recommend enough.
