  • hugo-theme-flat

    A hugo theme made in imitation of the wordpress theme Allium

  • hugo new site quickstart cd quickstart git init echo "/public/" >> .gitignore echo "/resources/_gen/" >> .gitignore echo ".hugo_build.lock" >> .gitignore git clone https://github.com/leafee98/hugo-theme-flat themes/flat rm -rf themes/flat/.git/ themes/flat/.github/ echo "theme = flat" >> hugo.toml hugo server

  • Plausible Analytics

    Simple, open source, lightweight (< 1 KB) and privacy-friendly web analytics alternative to Google Analytics.

  • The analytics provider I've gone with is Plausible. Sadly it's not free - about $9 a month - but it's easy to use, lightweight (the script is less than 1kb), and respects privacy, so it's worth a look IMO.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Hugo

    The world’s fastest framework for building websites.

  • For creating a static site I recommend Hugo. In short this is because it is popular, well-supported, fast, and allows you to get up and running quickly with premade templates.
