Ask HN: What's your favorite flat file blog?

A few years ago, I started a blog and decided to use flat files. I used Node/Gulp to create a simple system that used the directory structure and JSON files to create the post structure. It worked OK, but I haven't updated the blog in a while and moved to a new computer, and now nothing builds. I now want to start a different blog and would like to go with a similar approach.

Ideally, I would like the following: - A flat file blog that I can maintain on my desktop and publish to Github, maybe support comments via a service Disqus. - Pick between Markdown, HTML or a WSYWYG editor to update posts. - Prefrably not PHP based.
