#2Great idea. Keep expanding it as you have time.

#3org-mode already has this. Unfortunately, people seem to continue to use the inferior version of org known as Markdown. It is somewhat like how pdf overtook the superior format djvu.

#4I was under the impression that using markdown to create html webpages was a common use case, and had been solved. Was I wrong?
(I've used markdown for note taking, not for web pages, hence am asking.)

I was under the same impression as well. I have been using https://docusaurus.io/ for some time now and I am very happy with it and I am pretty sure there are other tools out there as well.

I am hesitant to give it a try. Mostly use sphinx and .rst - docusaurus looks nice but also overengineered.
Is it a lot to set up or is it just markdown all the way and works out of the box?

good point. markdown as web content is widely used, but not whole web page. the project is a sample to use markdown as whole page by putting web element (header,ment,theme) in frontmater.

Richard P. Gabriel (who every Emacs person should know) wrote "Worse is Better"[1] in 1984, which is directly applicable. To summarise, "worse" software prioritises simplicity of implementation and priortises simplicity over correctness.

It only takes a few minutes to set it up. I use it for my blog, very happy with it.
