#Hugo

I still love Hugo. I moved this blog to Astro anyway. It started with a view counter and ended in a full rebuild: same static HTML, way less duct tape.

Quick rundown of what I changed on the blog: privacy policy, imprint, contact form, footer, sitemap.

I used WordPress for years before switching to Hugo. Static HTML, no database, no plugins, 100/100 Lighthouse. Here is why I am not going back.

How to add search to a Hugo static site with Pagefind. No backend, no JSON templates, no pain. Just one build command and twenty lines of code.

Why I run Hugo in a Docker container instead of installing it bare metal — cleaner builds, no version conflicts, and a dev workflow that just works.
