Why Hugo’s Documentation Sucks

• Hugo

  548 72,338 9.8 Go

  The world’s fastest framework for building websites.

  

I have actually opened a pull requests [1] on the Hugo docs, adding one small sentence to clarify something that I was stuck on for several hours.

It was ignored for over a year, with the only comment being from me, then automatically marked stale and closed.

Needless to say I didn't open any additional PRs.

Also, this reflects my impression of the Hugo community in general - their discourse forum is pretty dismissive to questions (lots of "have you read the docs?" type responses when yes, I did read the damn docs, found them utterly confusing and that's why I spent 20 minutes writing up a detailed forum post to ask for advice).

• quicktemplate

  12 3,001 0.0 Go

  Fast, powerful, yet easy to use template engine for Go. Optimized for speed, zero memory allocations in hot paths. Up to 20x faster than html/template

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?
