Hugo VS Jekyll

Hugo has built-in support for adding a TOC.

A few popular examples of static site generators include Hugo, Jekyll, and VuePress.

Drupal is an overkill for a personal site/blog. I'd use any static site generator if the professor is willing to edit/upload text files to a server. I like https://gohugo.io/.

Generators are a dime a dozen really, Hugo is pretty popular but there really are hundreds of good options. After that it's just a case of following their docs, most these days are built on-top of something like React or Vue which are good tools to learn if you're looking to improve your frontend skill set.

Honestly, you might be coming across umpteenth article on this topic, but I had to jot down my experiments with static website setup. For the uninitiated, apart from being the name of a famous 2011 Martin Scorsese movie, Hugo is also an extremely popular static website generator. Hugo uses data files, configuration, layout templates, static files, and content written in Markdown to render a static website, which means no database, blazing fast site speed and no danger of cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks.

Switch to Hugo Hugo uses Markdown, so it would be easier to outsource writing or edits to contributors on Reddit.

Jekyll has the jekyll-toc plugin. I can vouch for this one, as I use it on an active website. It has excellent configuration options. It is one of the few I have seen where you can exclude individual headings within a page, so you can slim down the size of the table of contents.

While WordPress is the obvious way to go, WordPress can turn into sort of a pain in the ass over the long term. I’m planning on turning my decaying blogs into static generated sites. You might just start with one of those, such as Jekyll.

I use a liquid template in Jekyll to generate my feed. I added some of the builtin filter functions to strip excess whitespace (strip) and to escape the characters (xml_escape) to be XML-compliant.

❸ The Jekyll -- https://jekyllrb.com/ theme I'm using is minima 2.5.1 -- https://rubygems.org/gems/minima/versions/2.5.1 , I modified the footer.html file to include the plugin snippet as shown:

Jekyll is a simple blog-aware static site generator used for creating personal websites, blogs, documentation websites, corporate websites, etc. Jekyll was built with the Ruby programming language, and it uses the liquid templating engine as its templating engine. Jekyll is also the engine that powers GitHub pages.

If it works for you, I think it's a great idea to keep your ideas on track. When it comes to hosting a devlog, Discord seems like a odd choice to make regular "posts", I'd personally just setup a free blog or a Jekyll site and maybe using someting like Github Pages to host it for free. Just make sure you're not spending more time writing posts and updates than actually working on the game. The devlog should complement and motivate the game's development, not replace it!

Sounds like a semi-static website to me. Take a look at Jekyll, or any other static site generator, if you have a minute or ten. They allow you to put together and maintain a CMS-like setup with plain HTML, CSS or Markdown.

Jekyll

I use Jekyll, hosted on github Pages (for free). I find that it works extremely well for blogging code and math, as well as for creating a personal home page.
