I've been using Stacey for that purpose. It doesn't exactly export HTML but the surface area of attack is very reduced as it doesn't interact too much with the outside world: http://www.staceyapp.com/

I tried Stacey but had a hard time doing a few crucial things:

1) reordering posts -- posts are displayed in _alphabetical_ order, as are directories, so the suggested nomenclature is a numerical prefix before every file name. So if I wanted to rearrange things, I had to decide whether not a linear shift was worth the benefits of file name readability.

2) the order of posts is reversed! I want new blog posts to show up at the top of my feed, but Stacey puts higher numbers underneath. I didn't want to count backwards, so I looked around and found a php hack for reversing this.

This might be fun if you're hankering for some DIY PHP, but I wouldn't recommend it otherwise.

Stacey 3.0 allows you to reverse the order of arrays with a twig filter:

It doesn't have a backend for editing content, does it? This would make it unsuitable for the proverbial parish choir.

Stacey is like Kirby without a web interface. You manage content by dropping text files into directories. It's not inelegant. Admin interfaces can be just as poor for representing content as anything else (see: TinyMCE/WordPress) so once you get a client used to the workflow it isn't much of a hassle.

It's not like you're forcing them to build jekyll.
