I was expecting a really simple static-site generator too, but this idea is interesting as well. The heavyweight aspect of using Next/React dampen things a bit.

If it is a client-side solution, I'm imagining a single index.html file (with inline JS/CSS) that you could have a content/ or markdown/ child folder for. The HTTP server would have directory listing on for that folder. The index.html file enumerate/fetch the markdown in the content and folder and render it. You could route using the URL hash.

No build process. Just a single file + your markdown content. Maybe I just like this kind of stuff (https://github.com/pseudosavant/player.html, https://github.com/pseudosavant/folder.api)? So tempted to vibe-code an example...
