Ask HN: Share Your Personal Site
I also started to move to hugo, but they didn't merge the pr [2] which would have helped in the transition. :(
The look is still similar to what it was in the beginning, in terms of colors at least.

Why I built my own static site generator
A static site generator I've been enjoying lately (and using for my blog) is Metalsmith: https://metalsmith.io/
It feel like it's the best of both worlds, because it's simple to learn and customize, but there are plugins for the things you don't want to spend time writing yourself.
For example, I'm using plugins to: check for broken links, generate an RSS feed, and run a test server with automatic reloading.
But then I was able to easily add in my own code to handle relative links, generate Graphviz diagrams, and format dates.
One other recommendation: I hated almost every template language I ran across (Hugo's, Liquid, Nunjucks, EJS), but I'm thrilled with the simplicity of Handlebars (https://handlebarsjs.com/), although it is a bit limiting and the "block helper with parameters" syntax is strange (perhaps an indicator that I'm trying to do too much in the templating language!).

Depending on the stack of the repository you are cloning, you might have to install additional dependencies. For this demo, I'm using my own website, which is a static website built with Astro.js. It which requires to have Node.js installed and Yarn for package manager.

Growing a side-project to 100k Unique Visitors in one week
Astro was always on my list of things to learn. I've been using Remix and NextJS for a while, and I was interested in trying out a new framework. I decided it would be a good opportunity to build the site with it. This decision turned out to be a great one, as it saved me a lot of money on hosting costs later on.

Exploring Astro DB
import { defineDb, defineTable, column } from 'astro:db'; const Visits = defineTable({ columns: { id: column.number({ primaryKey: true }), page: column.text({ default: 'home' }), content: column.text({ default: "none" }), pagination: column.number({ default: 1 }), visitor_ip_hash: column.text(), visitor_user_agent_hash: column.text(), visitor_count: column.number({ default: 1 }) } }); // https://astro.build/db/config export default defineDb({ tables: { Visits } });

Why I keep an eye on the Vue ecosystem and you should too
Volar originally was Vue3's language support tool for VScode (I don't know about other editors). By today, volar has become a language indipendent framework to create language tools. It might still be a bit early for the dev with skill issues like me to use it and build some tools, but astro and svelte already use Volar to create their language tools.
