@kev Automatic updates are still chances for things to go wrong. Better to just not need to update.
I'll look into Grav, but it looks like the part of a CMS that I'm trying to ditch.
(I prefer a workflow more like editing code. Edit, lint, test-build, git push. One Pelican plugin I'd write is a port of the HTML/CSS/link verifier for the custom templater I NIHed for http://vffa.ficfan.org/ as a dumb teen.)
GitHub-pages style would also be easy to let anyone mirror. (with a FOSS Disqus clone)
@kev ...as for Gutenberg, I find that its handling of keyboard shortcuts is *very* frustrating when I want to do something like selecting to the beginning/end of a block.
I'm also not a fan of how it sends HTML to applications which request a text/plain form of the clipboard contents and neither editor is especially comfortable when I want to use definition list markup.
Heck, Pelican would let me write some pages in ReST to make that and footnotes comfortable.
