hugo-bearblog VS hugo-PaperMod

All major browsers supports Mathml now, which means you can type latex and math equations without any need for JS libraries like KaTeX.

And for your request, I would suggest bearblog template [1] (it is inspired by bearblog itself). It doesn't use any JS and provide minimal way to have a blog (website) and quarto supports hugo specific format that can help. [2]

Thanks for the kind words :), it is inspired by the minimalistic Bear Blog (I didn't create the template myself, just reused this template)

Couldn't agree more! If you didn't want a theme you could be up and running in an hour or you could spend a month making your own theme. I wanted something clean and fast to setup and load so I leaned on https://github.com/janraasch/hugo-bearblog

I use Hugo with the papermod theme

So, I ended up choosing the third option: building a website using a framework for static websites. After some googling I stumbled upon [[hugo]], which provides many themes, and supports Markdown and content organization through the use of taxonomies (e.g., categories, tags). One of the coolest themes I stumbled upon is PaperMod, a minimal theme suited for a blog. The documentation wasn't great and it didn't seem straightforward to change the homepage.

Add your font in static, reference in your override CSS. Also, there is a nice sample in their issues (which should have been the first place to ask this question).
