Searched for "markdown based blogging platform" - not a lot of options if you don't want a site generator you run yourself.

Led me to https://vocal.media/01/13-clean-and-simple-open-source-blogging-platforms-for-your-developer-blog which is itself a kind of content marketing without much substance.
most useful was https://www.indiehackers.com/post/minimalist-blogging-platforms-any-recommendations-a0232b54af

Most interesting option from indiehackers was write.as

Obsidian Quartz

https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz 609 ⭐

"Hosting a public digital garden isn't easy. There are an overwhelming number of tutorials, resources, and guides for tools like Notion, Roam, and Obsidian, yet none of them have super easy to use free tools to publish that garden to the world. … The goal of Quartz is to make hosting your own public digital garden free and simple. You don't even need your own website. Quartz does all of that for you and gives your own little corner of the internet."
