Performance
Hugo is extremely fast, capable of generating websites with thousands of pages in milliseconds, making it one of the fastest static site generators available.
Flexible Content Management
Hugo supports multiple content types, taxonomies, menus, and dynamic API-driven content, offering a high level of flexibility for different site architectures.
Ease of Use
Hugo’s straightforward installation process and simple configuration files make it accessible, even for beginners.
Extended Markdown
It extends standard Markdown with additional shortcodes, which allows embedding rich content like videos, tweets, and more with simple syntax.
Large Community and Plugins
Hugo has a large and active community that develops themes and plugins, providing ample resources and support for developers.
Inbuilt Server
Hugo comes with a built-in server for local development, enabling real-time previews and speeding up the development process.
As you may have noticed this site is built using Hugo and Papermod theme.
After playing around with Hugo and getting comfortable with it, I wanted to push the initial version of this site to the git repository and set up an automatic deployment pipeline to be able to easily publish updates to the web.

The descriptive text is stored as the alt attribute on the HTML img element, and the path to the image describes the relative path to the image or an absolute image URL. In our case, the static site generator Hugo parses these Markdown files and assets (images, etc.) and converts them into static HTML pages. I want my solution to be independent of Hugo, though, because Markdown is also used in other places, such…

My previous website used the Gatsby framework, for a simple reason: I am very familiar with React, so I thought customization would be easier. However, I later realized I didnt have time to maintain a bunch of Typescript and Javascript, which made me reluctant to update my website. This time, I choose Hugo. Maintaining a small amount of Go Template is easier, and I am familiar with Golang, too.

I use markdown for blogging on dev.to and on my personal blog site which is built on Hugo.
I use it for notes, task lists, reports and of course project documentation. MD(Markdown) is highly extensible and can be used in numerous applications.

Use a Static Site Generator like [Hugo](https://gohugo.io) and use GitHub pages or even Netlify which allows for CI/CD + Custom Domain with HTTPS/SSL certificates. I’ve been using Hugo + Netlify combination for more than 4 years now and It’s a breeze.

This required me to revisit my Hugo website. I opened up the developer tools in Edge to figure out which section was which to decide where I wanted to place my hit counter.

I am not a front-end web developer, and UI/UX design is not one of my skills. So, rather than fumble around trying to make my resume webpage look good, I decided to use a static website generator. I chose to use Hugo, since they have a lot of templates to choose from.

And last but not least, Netlify, which is the one I use to host this website(for free). Hugo + Netlify is a powerful combination.

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.

In that case, what we need would be closer to a static site generator (like Gatsby, Hugo, Jekyll). But, static site generators aren’t the best choice either because we would have to build a lot of documentation-focused functionality (like versioning, search, and code blocks) ourselves.

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….

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.

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.
