I have a static website with just plain HTML/css/js files. If a non-technical user needs to edit text content alone (no structural or design change, just plain text content), is there any tool that can help them to edit the page content via browser? may be an extension/plugin that at least captures the delta changes so that it can be sent to some backend API? The goal is to enable non-tech users to make simple changes to web page content and receive those changes in the backend.

#5It does ePub as well:
http://www.bluegriffon.org/
Has a free edition and a paid edition with more features. WYSIWYG features like a word processor.
Don't forget that Word and LibreOffice Write can export HTML files.

#6https://www.builder.io/ can drop into existing websites, static and framework. Pretty cool stuff, though unfortunately the interesting part is closed source. You can request the page once from their API and then save it for serving (rather than using their default method / setup).
https://grapesjs.com is an open source option, but will require some investment to get it working for your situation.
There is also Wordpress, Squarespace, and Webflow. Webflow has a CMS section. Netlify has some options here too, CMS system with a web UI.
I personally use Hugo (https://gohugo.io) and Webflow. Planning to use something with grapes+hugo to replace webflow.
