Good point. However, there is so much innovation in this space right now so I’m pretty sure that something like what you described will emerge.
The combination of Typora ( https://typora.io/ ) for writing markdown + `mkdocs serve` or `hugo serve` is pretty neat. Set up a gitlab-ci.yml that builds and pushes the final site to your hosted destination, that's it.
The real problem with any SSG is where to host and edit Markdown files and images for flexible spur of the moment content creation. I've built my own Wordpress-export-to-static solution to use the native iOS App as a workaround but it feels somewhat clunky — Same with having to run a headless CMS for this in the background; Surprisingly with all the gazillion of MD editors, no one has ever built one with live editing…
I always wanted to do this but every solution requires some non-free PHP hosting alongside the static host. WordPress.com doesn’t let you customize it unless you pay and if you want to use it headlessly you have to build a non-WordPress template elsewhere.
I have a low-traffic low-edit WordPress site I want to staticize, but no solution is server-free.

Do you still have a regular WordPress host though? Do you use WordPress.com? I always wanted to do this but every solution requires some non-free PHP hosting alongside the static host.

I considered using wp2static[0] before starting with Ghost. Have you published your exporter?

Image upload in Typora is done via some random hosting service IIRC.

I'd suggest you give Forestry ( https://forestry.io ) a try. It's a great CMS for static sites (incl. asset management) and it has a really nice preview system.
Consider using the regular Jekyll at https://jekyllrb.com/ (the Jekyll Now fork is no longer maintained)
In any case, I think the data is stored as MD and thus it can be probably easily migrated.

Personally I write to myself on telegram, then take it from there once I'm on a computer. Doing detail editing on a phone is painful anyway.
