As a quasi-coder, after much looking i've settled on this:

Jupyter Notebook - https://jupyter.org/ -- content creation Hugo - https://gohugo.io/ -- website structure and theme Github - https://github.com/ -- backup and version control Netlify - https://netlify.com/ -- host and deployment

Jupyter makes writing easy, and can export to many formats (html, md, rst, latex, ...). There's also a Jupyter Desktop App available, though it doesn't support extensions. https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop

Hugo's easy to setup, has many themes, good documentation, with a logical file system.

Github Desktop makes github easier to use. https://desktop.github.com/

Netlify deploys content directly from Github.
