You might like primo.so then - makes a static sure you can hand off to anyone & it’s open source.

I use this for our static pages at TheDrop.club and it's great! Makes me feel like a web developer (I have a business background).

Could be used to host public pages for tutorials/guides for a SaaS?

I'd recommend looking into Neocities.
