Respectfully, I don't think this puts this project outside the scope of any other static site generators as listed.

In my view a content only API would be more disruptive. A smart content API as a service could be used for any project. Give it a beautiful interface for authors and focus on the writing experience.

Maybe this is Mediums potential new market/ platform. What if you could grab and query your content with a smart api with graphql? No updates, servers, etc.

Any new project I used, I grab my content from this saas and use whatever tech/framework I want. Why aren't more devs looking at this as an option going forward?

Services such as the one you describe do exist, e.g. [Contentful](https://www.contentful.com/). I've used it on a few projects and it's pretty awesome.

The only thing it's missing from your description is graphql. :)
