Hugo VS astro

This post is a summary of my recent decision to go back to Hugo after using Zola. I also report on how LLM assistants with Web access can aid in such decisions, not as an authority but as a research assistant.

Hugo is a fast and flexible static site generator built in Go, known for its speed and large theme ecosystem. It supports markdown, taxonomies, multilingual content, and powerful templating with minimal dependencies. Hugo is highly performant and well-suited for building large-scale documentation sites. It’s ideal for teams seeking speed and customization with minimal runtime requirements.

Try Hugo[1]. In depends on a template you choose alone whether Hugo will generate a landing page, a website, a blog, etc.

The content of the guide lives in a single Markdown file, content/_index.md. The website is built using Hugo.

Every PKMS/BASB needs a search functionality. Ever since I've created brainfck to host my own collection of thoughts/ideas/resources (aka Zettelkasten) I wanted to be able to actually search within my collection of org-roam based notes. Meanwhile for all my sites I own (this blog, my CV/portfolio, brainfck and defersec) I use hugo. All of them didn't have proper search capabilities. That's why I was looking for a proper way to include search functionalities without any major effort.

This project demonstrates how to deploy a static website using Hugo and Pulumi on AWS S3. Hugo is a fast static site generator, and Pulumi is an infrastructure-as-code tool that allows you to define cloud resources using TypeScript. The site is deployed to an S3 bucket configured as a static website, with public access enabled for viewing.

It was long my desire to write a blog with stuff that interests me. Lately i was studying Golang and i came across Hugo which is a really nice and fast site generation utility. This was a great opportunity to start my own blog by using Hugo and Github Pages in order to host it. Why?

HUGO is a popular and open-source static site generator framework that makes it easy to organize your files and assets where you can also leverage a taxonomy system, multilingual support, fast assets pipeline, and more. HUGO is used by millions of developers and by websites such as Bootstrap, Litecoin, Smashing Magazine, and even Flowbite.

Astro

I've been digging Astro lately, I keep eyes on Nuxt, VitePress and similar though.

That’s exactly what we set out to do with Parcs Canins — a curated directory of secure, fenced dog parks in France, built entirely with Astro.js.

// Path: astro.config.mjs - Configuring SSR with an adapter import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config'; import vercel from '@astrojs/vercel/serverless'; import react from '@astrojs/react'; import vue from '@astrojs/vue'; // https://astro.build/config export default defineConfig({ // Enable SSR for dynamic rendering output: 'server', // Deploy to Vercel serverless functions adapter: vercel(), // Add support for multiple UI frameworks integrations: [react(), vue()] });

This project demonstrates integrating Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) using Permit.io and AI-powered Q&A using Google Gemini into an Astro web application.

Have you checked out https://astro.build/ yet? You can drop in any framework where you need it, so if you need to bring along those Angular components you can but you can also lean on React if you need it.
