Why?
Why a Static Site Generator (SSG)? Why Hugo?
SSG 👍
- No server needed:
- Cheaper: hosted on github (but could be in gitlab, too)
- Faster (almost lightning fast!): no queries to database
- Not hackable (from server side)
- No need to maintain a number of html files (verbose and cumbersome)
SSG 👎
- Requires minimal technical skills:
- Needs to maintain plain text files (
*.md
, *.rst
)
- Not GUI*
- Git
- Needs extra software (installed locally)* -> parses/serves plain text files into html files
- No interaction (web 1.0!)
Hugo
