It Took Me a Decade to Find the Perfect Personal Website Stack – Ghost+Fathom
I took a more traditional approach, focusing on something that's "good enough", which in my case was a cheap VPS and an install of Grav: https://getgrav.org/
Some optional customization for page templates/fonts/CSS, some CI so I can build and deploy it inside of a Docker container, Matomo for analytics that respect privacy (which I already use elsewhere) and some additional web server configuration to hide anything interesting behind an additional login and I'm good. Maybe backups and uptime monitoring if I'm feeling brave, which is what most sites should also have (so copy + paste there).
All of that for under 100 euros per year (could also pay half of that if I didn't host anything else on the server), the blog has actually survived getting on the front page of HN once or twice and requires relatively little maintenance, at least a bit less than a proper install of WordPress, due to its larger surface area.
The best thing is that it's simple enough for me to understand how it works, to be able to move it anywhere as needed and use more or less plain Markdown for writing the blog posts. Here's a quick example of a recent post: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/ever-wanted-to-read-thousan...
Now all that's left is to find motivation to write more, but at least 90% of my time doesn't go into tinkering with custom fancy solutions, no matter how much I'd love that. Then again, nothing wrong with the alternatives either: 400 euros might be perfectly worth it for some, whereas working with static site generators or even custom CMSes would be a fun experience for others!

How to create a nice looking website for your game that is reasonably low effort and cost
As an alternative to a static site with Hugo you can use grav for dynamic sites. Can't use it with GitHub pages, of course, but it does allow you to add searches and such to your site, while still writing your content in markdown files.

best php-based cms/tech choice
Another area of CMS Systems are Flat File System based CMS which I did last time not hear a lot around but there was a lot of noice in the past from Kirby CMS and Grav CMS. Instead of a database they store all there data inside files and I mostly saw more for simpler website build with it where not specific security releated user context based content where used.

My Journey Away from the JAMstack
Honestly, frontend development especially with all these crowded frameworks and libraries always confused me so pardon my ignorance, which is why in a project I’m working on right now I’m trying not to use js, instead I’m using egui [1]
Zola is a static site generator and it’s crazy fast, using one binary only [2], also there’s Blades [3], same concept but supposedly faster, never tried it though.

Show HN: Primo – a visual CMS with Svelte blocks, a code editor, and SSG
Great project. But honestly, I reached to the point of “less JS” or even no js is better for developers and also users. I’m currently migrating my old blog to a new one that gets generated by Zola [1], and even my main portfolio site, which funnily enough I newly made it with React/Gatsby, but I’m redoing it again with Zola because of the performance gap is just unmatched, not to mention I personally sometimes browse the web with js disabled so if a website is completely non-functional or doesn’t even load because of that is a deal breaker. My old site years ago used to use jquery and I was annoyed by it to some degree, trying react and the likes was a nightmare!

Documentation generators and custom syntax highlighting
Zola (https://www.getzola.org/) can generate from markdown-ish files nice looking documentation websites (and also RSS feeds), it uses syntect (https://github.com/trishume/syntect) which supports sublime syntax highlight files. For github readme I don't have a solution besides using a png.

Ask HN: What simple web apps do you wish existed? Seeking ideas for sample apps
This one smells a bit like something I run into at work sometimes, where a non-technical person makes a technical decision and the technical people don't sufficiently challenge it.
If you're trying to convert markdown documents into webpages, the most likely output format would surely be HTML, or perhaps something custom to the site like MediaWiki markup.
It's totally possible that a site would allow for new documents to be uploaded in a JSON format, but the format would have to be specified (e.g. which keys are used for the post body and subject) - so "whatever you deem best" is unlikely to work, it would need to be "whatever my webhost expects, which is documented -here-"
I'm happy to be wrong here, and zainhoda's markdown to JSONified HTML is interesting regardless - but I suspect you really wanted a markdown to HTML converter. ex: https://markdowntohtml.com/ or something more extreme like a static site generator: https://www.getzola.org/
