quicktemplate VS Hugo

Here are a couple:

https://github.com/rohanthewiz/element

I'm sure there are many more.

The thing about these is that performance is often not as good as when using templates, especially when the templates are compiled to native code. Quicktemplate [1] is still the leader here IMO, and I don't think the OP project brings much that couldn't be done pretty easily with QT.

From my experience you don't really need a distinct frontend framework for web development in Go. I've been able to use quicktemplate for some of my projects for rendering HTML pretty effectively. I've written about using it here.

If the question is about templating libraries, then I've seen people use other libraries than the html/template, like https://github.com/hoisie/mustache or https://github.com/valyala/quicktemplate

I originally started out trying to add features to quicktemplate, but didn't get any engagement, so went my own way: https://github.com/valyala/quicktemplate/issues/80

I've been using quick template with htmx and I'm really enjoying the combo. As a mostly backend developer it's a pretty intuitive approach. Now if someone could just build something to simplify working with CSS...

Like with the previous post, we're going to use djinn-ci/imgsrv as an example of using multiple sources in a build manifest. If we look at the top of the manifest file, we will see that it requires three repositories to build. These are, the source code for djinn-ci/imgsrv itself, golang/tools, and valyala/quicktemplate, defined like so,

I like Hugo quite a lot, but I don't like Go's standard library templates. I wonder if it is possible to use https://github.com/valyala/quicktemplate with Hugo?

For encoding, the receivers usually want very specific encoding (namespaces, nil as xsi:nil, not omitted value...) - templating with text/template or github.com/valyala/quicktemplate is easier on the long run, than fight with xml.Marshal and the other end's unspoken assumptions.

The "Hello World" example is up at https://github.com/a-h/qt-lsp - it's called qt-lsp because I started down this track looking to build IDE support for quicktemplate - https://github.com/valyala/quicktemplate/issues/80 - but didn't think it was practical when I dug into the design of quicktemplate more.

At one point though I realized there is a scaling problem with my build minutes. I knew that golang has considerably faster builds and in my case the easy fix is swapping over to Hugo.

This blog is running on Hugo. It had previously been running on Jekyll. Both these SSGs ship with the ability to create excerpts from your markdown content in 1 line or thereabouts.

Hugo

Hugo is a popular static site generator specifically designed to create websites and documentation lightning-fast. Its minimalist approach, emphasis on speed, and ease of use have made it popular among developers, technical writers, and anybody looking to construct high-quality websites without the complexity of typical CMS platforms.

As per many other comments, it sounds like a static site generator like Hugo (https://gohugo.io/) or Jekyll (https://jekyllrb.com/), hosted on GitHub Pages (https://pages.github.com/) or GitLab Pages (https://about.gitlab.com/stages-devops-lifecycle/pages/), would be a good match. If you set up GitHub Actions or GitLab CI/CD to do the build and deploy (see e.g. https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-github/), your normal workflow will simply be to edit markdown and do a git push to make your changes live. There are a number of pre-built themes (e.g. https://themes.gohugo.io/) you can use, and these are realtively straightforward to tweak to your requirements.

Create the technical documentation of your project You can use any of the following options: * A wiki, like the ArchWiki that uses MediaWiki * Read the Docs, used by projects like Setuptools. Check Awesome Read the Docs for more examples. * Create a website * Create a blog, like the documentation of Blowfish, a theme for Hugo.

Doing this made me appreciate existing SSGs like Hugo and Next.js even more👏👏

I suggest hugo: https://gohugo.io/

Generates a completely static website from MD (and other formats) files; also handles themes (including a lot of them rendering well on mobile), and different types of content - posts, articles, etc. - depending on the theme.

It's open source and, being completely static, cheap as fuck to self host.
