Savoring Hugo

Hey, forget about React for a moment. Seriously. You can do it. Take a look at a powerful alternative if you want to build a static site like the one you’re on right now. This is built with Hugo, a framework based on Golang that will blow your mind with how minimalistic and incredibly fast it is.

I’ve set it up following a simple folder-and-markdown-file structure using Obsidian, creating a sort of file-based CMS that renders and updates in real-time.

I’ll admit that Hugo’s template syntax, based on Go templates, took me a bit to get used to, but it’s intuitive enough to take the plunge.

In short, if you’re considering a blog or a simple website, I can’t think of a better option than Hugo. I encourage you to throw something together this weekend—it’s quick and mindblowing!
