I don’t know... I have a Github actions workflow that on a commit, it builds a site (mkdocs) and upload it to a gh-pages branch for hosting on Github. You could also push the generated html to S3.
That coupled with Working Copy could be a pretty good mobile workflow.
For me, this was much easier than deploying Lambda code and managing How all of that worked together. Using Github Actions wasn’t much more than setting up a deploy script.
Have that. It sucks. UI on github sucks (need something I can access anywhere, not just my desktop, thought github might cut it, it doesn't). Uploading images sucks. No preview sucks. I suppose I could trigger to staging but that means I have to commit just to see a preview then wait for the entire process vs say wordpress which has instant preview.
Managing posts also sucks. I can pre-date posts but I can't at a glance get a list of posts with data about each one. Instead I just get a file listing and have to open each file and read its headers to see its metadata (date, title). Publish vs unpublished also suck. I have folders for my posts and another folder for drafts but moving something from one to the other is no fun compared to just checking a box in wordpress.
Where? On my iPhone?
* Hit save
Where does it save it to?
* Let Hugo/Jekyll/Pelican/whatever compile
Where does that happen? If I want to write on my phone it won't compile on my phone.
* FTP/SCP onto a server
From my phone? Also I specifically don't want to run a server, or more specifically, I don't want to pay for a server to run all the time.
* It's a blog, nobody needs a CDN for that
If you're writing about high scalability, it's a bit embarrassing and ruins your credibility if your site isn't speedy worldwide.
