Love this. I'm writing less (public) but I have written a lot in the past couple of years -- in simple plaintext.

I'm looking for a pattern/framework/system to settle down as the starting base for "Markdown + Pandoc + Make + [no-idea-yet]" for simple Static Websites. Can you please link me to some to kickstart and look at the templates/starter-kit. Thanks.

Given this context, I feel like 50-odd lines of shell-fu will serve you well. Pandoc offers a pretty flexible templating system. So all told, you'll have just the one dependency. For example:
