My stack will outlive yours
Thanks! I am using MDX for the articles. I don't really like it though. MDX is fiddly and causes some headaches here and there. I am exploring other options.
The MDX files are here: https://github.com/city41/mattgreer.dev/tree/main/pages/arti...
And I just now wrote a new post about how I did the static HTML: https://mattgreer.dev/articles/how-i-built-this-static-site-...

My stack will outlive yours
I've found a nice middleground to be writing a custom static site generator for each site. They can be quite small (here's one[0] in ~50 lines). Usually it just loops through a directory and turns Markdown files into HTML (with header injected), and syntax highlighting.
Also, if you're really committed, you might be surprised how app-like you can make HTML+CSS, using things like checkbox and :target hacks[1]. The UI demoed in the video on this site[2] has no JS. These techniques pretty much require a generator, and there are obviously tradeoffs.
