I use the gitlab web ide which also has basic preview support for markdown. I ensure that I keep the markup to a minimum. I don't even use pictures. When I commit cloudflare (whose build/publish process went from 3-5 minues to seconds) makes it available almost instantly. It's a hugo site which I created by taking a theme I like and gutting unneccessary things. I don't update the code or theme at all and the hugo version is fixed in the cloudflare pages settings. I do not use the hugo tooling at all anymore. You could also write your own script like a lot of people on HN seemt to be doing and configure the build step to do nothing but take whatever is in your web directory and publish it. (Obviously the same is possible with github. I actually migrated from there. Gitlab can import github repos, and the only change needed on the cloudflare side was change where the repo points to and set up the new token)
