No CMS? Writing Our Blog in React
I'm currently facing the same problem - adding a blog to a Rails app.
I thought Sitepress looks interesting, as its supposed to integrate with Rails. Have you given that one a try?

The theory versus the practice of “static websites”
I’ve been down this path enough times that I built https://sitepress.cc/, which lets you embed content in a rails app with features that are present in Jekyll, Middleman, etc. like Frontmatter, site hierarchy traversal, etc. It keeps content as files in the app/content directory, but when it’s time to pull data in from the Rails app for SEO, it’s all right there in the Rails app. There’s no “Headless CMS” crap to jump through.
For me, this is another way of keeping everything in a monolith, and which requires a lot less context switching. If I’m building a feature and I want to create marketing or support content for it, it’s all right there in the same repo. I just create the markdown files I need, commit them to the repo, and I’m don.
The thought of switching between a static content site or something like Webflow just seems silly. I think they only makes sense for huge teams.

Rails with Middleman for static content?
In case you want something like Middleman (frontmatter, static compilation, ...), but embedable in your Rails app, Sitepress is really cool solution (you can even run it without Rails!): https://sitepress.cc

Ask HN: Who's using Ruby web development without Ruby on Rails (RoR)?
I went the opposite direction and built a static site generator on top of Rails: https://sitepress.cc/
Turns out, Rails is a really good web framework! I tried building Sitepress on something “light weight”, Tilt and Rack, and it was a pain. I found myself constantly solving the same problems that were already solved in Rails. At some point it dawned on me that I could just build on top of a few parts of Rails, so I did. I wrote about it at https://fly.io/ruby-dispatch/single-file-rails-app/
I’m glad I did! Now I can plug all of the Rails template handlers, view components, and other Rails plugins into it and ride off that entire communities docs.
If you find yourself thinking, “rails is too heavy”, consider shedding the parts of Rails that you don’t need. Then as your application grows in complexity and you find yourself needing more parts of Rails, bring it back in.

Single File Rails Apps
As I was building Sitepress (a site generator like Middleman, Jekyll, & Bridgetown), I stumbled into the idea that a Rails application can exist in a single file and wrote about it at https://fly.io/ruby-dispatch/single-file-rails-app/.

Show HN: I made a CMS that uses Git to store your data
Agreed. I built https://sitepress.cc/ that uses git + files to manage content in Rails, but it needs an editor.
I’m not sure if the right thing to do is build a web editor or smooth out git workflows so that non-technical people can open content files with desktop software to make changes to the content.

State of the Web: Static Site Generators
I created https://sitepress.cc/ because you can have both! It can run a dynamic content site from a Rails app or it can compile out pages that can be deployed to any static website host.
It doesn’t have a front end for authoring pages, styles, etc, but that could be built on top of this library.

RIP Jekyll (The Genesis of the Jamstack)
I was using Middleman for a while, but then grew tired of all the dependencies I had to always keep up-to-date. I did the completely illogical thing and built my own static site generator, https://sitepress.cc/
A few years later and I ended up deleting most of it and replacing the internals with Rails. Now Sitepress is just a tiny rails application sitting on top of a bunch of files. Most of the maintenance and dependencies are handled by major Rails lib maintainers.
When you deploy it, you can compile it into static files and deploy as you’d expect, but you can also deploy it as a rails or rack app … or even embed it into an existing rails app.
When Rails 7.0 gets released I’ll drop JS importmaps into the default install for free and have my dream static site generator that doesn’t have a huge asset compilation step.

What is the current ideal choice for server-side rendered web frameworks?
I've used https://github.com/flosch/pongo2 since it feels more dev friendly (like almost every other framework I've used). Check out https://github.com/avelino/awesome-go#template-engines for some others.

FastAPI Replacement - especially with openapi
Doesn’t it bother your that your templates aren’t really valid HTML? Because of the way html/template works, one isn’t really able to implement template inheritance properly. So you end up with opening and closing tags scattered around multiple files? You might want to look at Pongo2, which implements most of Django’s templating syntax (incl. inheritance) and is pretty stable: https://github.com/flosch/pongo2

Does Go have an equivalent to Python's Flask and Django?
At least template-wise, I've developed pongo2 mimicking Django's template engine which I use myself for various projects. For the rest I usually stick with the standard library (net/http), golang-jwt, the Gorilla toolkit (note that it's been archived recently) and some software architecture patterns for middlewares, database abstraction, etc.

Build a CMS with golang?
Django uses Jinja templating engine. Something similar is available at https://github.com/flosch/pongo2 Now you just have to pick which router you want and which ORM or not-ORM.

State of the Web: Static Site Generators
Yes, Go templating is quite hard. There was a feature request[1] to implement the Django/Jinja2-like Pongo2 template engine[2], but got rejected because it would have been a too big change.

Writing a Jinja-inspired template library in Python
Yes, there is pongo2 [0] and my runner (basically a small Go software that runs the template engine) pongo2-runner [1].
I'm not the author of the library (pongo2), but I'm using pongo2-runner to dynamically create config files out of environment variables, with custom logic. Super recommended.
