The closest solution to what you described in my opinion is Publii, which is open source and works very well with many static hosts. The whole process outlined in the article is very complicated and utterly unnecessary if you are not a developer and just want to publish a simple blog or site.

Publii seems great. I checked out an early version when it wasn't quite ready for prime time.
You're right, it is (now?) close to what I was thinking.
However, I was thinking of the developer who just wants to publish a blog. They may wish to go in and tweak things if they want, but sometimes they just want to write about -- I don't know, another way to visualize matrix multiplication -- and don't want to spend an hour updating their RVM to run Jekyll because this theme isn't compatible with the old ruby or whatever.

The themes are quite easy to tweak and all that tech stack upgrade mess is just not an issue. You can update the app itself just by downloading the new version. So it's nice for busy developers too.
