Jumping on the bandwagon of the guy that jumped on the bandwagon, because you mentioned potentially re-doing your own code at some point so might be interested: my personal site [0] looks very much like this (and is also written in Rust), but uses the comrak [1] crate to convert blog posts from Markdown to HTML on the fly before formatting with the header/footer theme. Using comrak lets you write in-line HTML (so you're not stuck with only Markdown syntax if you want to do something fancier like code blocks or ), and the whole site is <100 LoC, including route definitions.

It handled the one potential HN hug-of-death event I've had without issues while running on the smallest DO droplet offered, and has basically been issue-free since I got it up and running.
