Hugo

Sun, 12 Apr 2026 16:59:07 +0200

I’ve been thinking about revamping my website for a while, and today I finally did it.

Previously, I used the solution recommended by GitHub for creating a static website: Jekyll.

What I liked about this solution was being able to write text with certain features like: formatting text, adding links, creating lists, inserting images, and syntax-highlighted code. In short, I had no complaints about that.

What I liked least was the reliance on Ruby and its dependencies. I started looking into other options and thought Hugo seemed like an interesting alternative.

So let’s dive into this new adventure which is not a point’n’click ;)

Lighting

This post is about lighting in Thimbleweed Park, I don’t know you, but I found the ligthing in Thimbleweed Park marvelous. It’s subtle and nice, when an actor is walking in front the arcade, his face becomes green and then pink due to the neons color.
