Hugo VS MkDocs

Hugo (OpenSource) - The world’s fastest framework for building websites

. . . larger sites don’t refresh all that quickly when you edit either Markdown or an .astro file . . . . where refresh-in-dev-mode speed is concerned, all the other competitors currently have an edge on Astro for this item, with the stunningly fast Hugo obviously leading the pack.

If you are using a static site generator SSG like Hugo or Jekyll, there will come a time that you may ask yourself, how do I handle forms.

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

This is because the Beautiful Hugo theme uses the Page.URL method that was removed in Hugo v0.93.

I contribute to open source projects as well - in various ways - and it's fine for a maintainer of a huge project to use that wording.

He pushed hugo and viper in 2013-2014: https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/commits/v0.7, viper: https://github.com/spf13/viper/commit/98be071

Steve is a very accomplished programmer, with what hugo / viper became in the go ecosystem by itself. In my view, the projects also jumpstarted a lot of new users who were trying out golang who weren't sold on it yet. I didn't really appreciate his leadership or advisory roles until now, that's just icing on the cake.

Thanks for your contributions, Steve!

FYI, it's a Hugo site based on the Kaktus theme made by me. It is a fork of the Cactus theme.

One thing that looks completely interesting are static website generators. Like Jekyll and Hugo. They make websites with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and all you have to do to add new blog entries, is to create a simple markdown file and add it to a folder, and the styling is created for you. I'm really curious about how you can add your own HTML and CSS to make your own website with this technology. They have a lot of templates, but they all look weird to me, or they don't provide a lot of functionality.

In the February 2022 I finally decided to create my personal blog. I've chosen to Hugo as a framework for building it. On the landing page, it bravely declares:

MkDocs (Open Source) - Project documentation with Markdown

If you are looking for a similar markdown-to-docs-site tool but don't want to run javascript outside of a browser, MkDocs is great: https://www.mkdocs.org/

The Official Nano Docs are Open Source as well. They use MkDocs.

After many iterations, the protocol was finally much better than what it used to be. It still had length headers, but it was far less funky than it used to be. And we finally had persistence. I also added several other utilities like background saving, snapshots, configuration and more. Also, I took the time to set up a documentation site (it was then built with mkdocs) to make it easier for folks to set up things on their machines. We eventually switched to Docusaurus and it has been a pleasant experience, thanks to its easy versioning. TerrabaseDB switched names to Skytable, especially inspired by Linux landing on Mars.

MkDocs

I use https://www.mkdocs.org/ - everything written in Markdown, easy to embed images/tables, can be self-hosted either directly or via something like backstage.io

MKdocs is really nice. But plenty of static site generators are out there.
