This is my exact feeling. I have a Hugo-powered blog, but like you said, I miss the ability to draft something quickly when I'm inspired. Right now, the best option I have found is self-hosting Ghost with some aggressive Cloudflare caching. I considered using wp2static[0] before starting with Ghost. Have you published your exporter?

  This looks great! Is it possible to create templates or script workflows in this app? For example, when publishing new blog entry in my Eleventy site, I have to create a new folder, then create a markdown file in that folder with some specific frontmatter. Can I have GitJournal do that all for me?

    Kind of - There is an option to always add specific frontmatter when creating a new file. It's however in the pro version. I'm yet to implement proper templating support. Could you please vote on the issue? https://github.com/GitJournal/GitJournal/issues/20 https://github.com/GitJournal/GitJournal/issues/20

I was in exactly this situation. I had a static site/blog thing on GitHub pages, but the process just wasn't conducive to spur of the moment writing. I nearly went back to WordPress but it's just far too bloated for my needs, so like you I ended up on Ghost. I went with Ghost because it was nice and streamlined, made writing quick and easy and wasn't too bloated. I still need to take some time to develop a super streamlined theme but it's good enough for now!
