Lektor VS Hugo

There is a somewhat similar system called Lektor, written by Armin Ronacher (of Flask/Jinja fame): https://www.getlektor.com/ You define your models, then start the local devserver to add entries for the models. In the end, it stores the data in the filesystem and outputs static HTML.

I have used a few static site generators over the years including Hugo, Jekyll, and Pelican to host my personal blog. And I have experimented with a few others including Lektor and Gatsby.

Lektor might be worth a look: https://www.getlektor.com/

After creating a site you start a local server by executing "lektor run" in the local folder, then preview the site in your webbrowser. There you get a edit-button whivh opens a backend with which you can edit the website. From that backend you can hit an upload button which allows you to push the static site directly to a remote (e.g. via scp)

Sphinx is great, lektor is amazing.

This somewhat reminds me of Lektor[0], which is a sort of front-end GUI application (really just website/page in front of a locally-run web server) that allows for folks to edit and post content as a static site generator and without needing a CLI. Lektor happens to be open source and based on python. This also reminds me of MovableType! Either way, I think we need more of these types of tools; both for techs and non-techs alike! Best of luck to the Kit55 folks!

lektor offers some of this functionality. editing is done locally through a browser UI, but there may be a way to host the interface. deployments are easy.

Shameless plug: If you want a static site generator with an admin UI I can recommend Lektor (https://www.getlektor.com/). You declare your data model and templates and Lektor serves an editing UI for you. There is a good video introduction by Armin Ronacher (original author) if you prefer to digest video content: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTWTCwuPdrU

Disclaimer: Occasionally I moonlight as a maintainer of Lektor.

The site itself is hugo using the learn theme.

Would it be possible use your script for the Hugo based website? I'm looking for the right website URL format to replace "/wp-content/" in the code. Images are stored in "/uploads/". Would it work if I replace this URI path? Thanks in advance!

I use Hugo for static sites and it's great. It supports pretty much every feature you could need, and you can set up some good old npm packages if there's something critical you're missing.

Taking hugo as an example, here's the related code for a post and here's what it looks like.

For the purposes of this tutorial, we will not be focusing on fine-tuning the site contents. Today, I will be deploying a simple static blog and have chosen to use Hugo as my framework (other popular alternatives for this purpose include 11ty, Astro, and Jekyll). I don't need any complex user interactions, so a static site generator is sufficient for my needs. If you plan to use Hugo as well, make sure it is installed on your machine. Then, open up a terminal (on Windows, it's recommended to use an Unix command line terminal or Powershell; Git Bash is usually the easiest option),

Neat! I'm doing something analogous with my blog at https://fudgefountain.zumppe.net/, except I use the emacs org-mode instead of asciidoctor format. My sources are on gitlab. I use Hugo to create the website for the blog from the org files.

Had a hard time using MANY existing React ui components from various packages. I guess it is fast but the work involved in trying to build anything more interactive is not worth it just to shape 2-3-10ms. I can't find a plus for using this over something like Hugo (https://gohugo.io/) for example.

I'd probably just start a blog using one of the many static site generators out there. For the normal low-traffic personal site, there are good options to host one for free. I use hugo hosted on Cloudflare.

I made the website using Hugo with the theme Whisper. Hugo is VERY good, and you can have a website up and running really quick. You can check the code for the website (yams.media) here: https://gitlab.com/rogs/yams.media
