Hugo

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.

It’s still too early to give my final verdict, but my first impression is quite positive, and it even offers a way to migrate your site directly to Hugo from several platforms, including Jekyll.
