I usually use something like Contentful, but I'm trying to find a simple a robust way of letting a website owner create simple markdown files that will trigger a re-build and add use the markdown file to generate a new blog page.

I like the idea of the user not needing to leave their website to make changes which isn't the case with contentful. I've looked at other CMS' like Payload or Strapi. That sadly doesn't seem like the solution I'm looking for due to:
1. Feel like they are overkill for just a markdown file
2. have tried using them in the past with little success since I'm dumb 😦

You can just save the markdown inside your DB/CMS and then use something like next-mdx-remote to fetch and render

I'm not familiar with next-mdx-remote, but I'll look into it
So this is something I could do with Payload or Strapi?
