And by that I mean,

An http server that serves word-like rich formatted text documents and includes a web-based rich formatting text editor to write and edit these documents.

With some searching I found these might be candidates

Ghost
WriteFreely / Write.as
Plume

And maybe the following editors in some kind of standalone mode

TipTap
Editor.js
Quill.js
CKEditor 5
Slate.js

I’ve heard lots of good things about Ghost. I’ve also hosted Grav for a while and it’s pretty solid. You can do Wordpress, but I’d stay away as it gets bad fast and there are better alternatives. If you needed even more scale, Mediawiki is selfhostable too.

Grav is nice, as it creates flat files for the front end, instead of server side/database driven pages. That makes it super fast to load.

I'm reading the grav page and I have no idea how this is.

Is this like this

Press a button
rich text editor appears
write stuff
press save
send link

That's what I'm aiming for. I had a look, and the blog platform are so much clunkier and frustrating to use. And each of these seems to want to eat several of my weekends to install so I don't have the luxury of reviewing all of them.
