• utilitarianism.net

  5 9 8.3 HTML

  Official repository for utilitarianism.net

I've been loving Hugo. I built https://utilitarianism.net/ with it https://github.com/whyboris/utilitarianism.net

For my personal and dev sites I used to use Gatsby, but migrated to Hugo just this month: https://github.com/whyboris/homepage & https://github.com/whyboris/homepage-dev

I'm pleased with how little boilerplate Hugo actually needs. My personal websites have so few files to maintain / worry over :)

  Personal website for Evan Sosenko.

  

Since we're sharing, here is my personal site in Hugo without using any starter templates or themes.

https://github.com/evansosenko/evansosenko.com

Going back to basics and having zero external dependencies is quite enjoyable. Understanding how Hugo templates, themes, and content all work together was more complicated than I originally expected, but they have build a good system. Hopefully this helps anyone looking to get started.

• Hugo

  549 72,657 9.8 Go

  The world’s fastest framework for building websites.

  

Hugo is not made for minimum viable blogs. Its advantage in performance only becomes important for bigger websites or blogs with thousands of articles. But especially for bigger websites it should be possible to auto-generate a good archive. However the developers of Hugo stubbornly refuse to fix this very important 8 year old issue: https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/448
