This is basically how my blog works, except I use mistune as the markdown renderer, which has allowed me to extend it over time, including adding syntax-highlighted code blocks and latex math syntax: https://www.da.vidbuchanan.co.uk/blog/mathml-blogging.html

I also generate an index page and an RSS feed.

One thing that's been bugging me more recently (now that I have tens of articles written) is that I need to implement incremental rebuilds. Right now every page needs to get regenerated at once, which takes triple-digit-milliseconds. Unacceptable!
