    No, readers just want content served fast. Nothing beyond simple markdown or static html with some images or video embeds inside.

    >Writers want dead simple (but expressive) writing and publishing. They want control over how their writing looks.

    Who are those "writers"? If you're making a "static site as a service" perhaps that's a concern.

    If you're making your own static site, you can use the simplest Markdown or whatever else you prefer, writing it manually, with or without a generator. You could even use the Motherfucking Website standard (https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/) or the Better Motherfucking Website RFC (http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/) or the Best Motherfucking Website recommendations (https://thebestmotherfucking.website/) or go fancy and use the cutting edge Perfect Motherfucking Website ones (https://perfectmotherfuckingwebsite.com/).
