The easy way to make a website with Markdown

It is not difficult to get away from that ecosystem, they simply need to not be included. It is in fact more work to include them and introduced unnecessary complexity.

Several markdown to html generators exist that are well established which simply use the base languages: node, python, go, etc. Instead of using a framework that isn't suited to the task, they focus on structure and features and work on that. By working on the features, structure, and grammar, the tooling will emerge.

This makes sense for one-way posting, but there are two issues for my main use case (personal and small company websites):

1. I want to edit the pages sometimes, and I want to do so using markdown without extra steps.

2. I still want to use React components *sometimes*.

3. I want it to be really easy to deploy and monitor. Nextjs is really easy for those things.

Solving the first issue and third issues don’t require React, but the second definitely does. So I’m still stuck.
