The irony here is that the reason WordPress eclipsed Movable Type was that people got tired of having to go through the edit-output static files-publish cycle to modify their content. They wanted to make their changes in an editor and have them appear immediately on the live site, without waiting for a new set of static files to grind out. WP, which generates all pages dynamically, met that demand nicely.

Then of course people eventually discovered the downside of generating every page dynamically, namely that it's much more resource intensive, and started to clamor for something more efficient. So the current wave of static site generators were born, doing the exact same thing MT got killed in the marketplace for doing.

Sigh.

• Preview your work

• Login to mysite.com/admin (via a React app that communicates with our API)

Lots of cool stuff coming soon. Feedback always welcome.

admin interface can have many types of "fields" - wysiwyg is one of them (its not core but its popular)

html output - there is plugin that builds up html from whole site.

you could hook into the build and push whereever you want.

so with little setup it can be done with kirby. but same thing would be true for things like wordpress. iam sure there is wp plugin to export to html.

you could also simply use wget -m i had lot of luck with that
