That's the thing, I've been writing HTML for 25 years and JS for over 20.
Lately I've been writing a lot of .md when writing Jupyter Notebooks.
Thus I figured that Hugo would offer some advantages to relatives who wanted a dead simple site that they wanted to add some posts from time to time.
Static site would be perfect for them but I do not want to manually add their posts...
Started looking into Forestry.io and well it is not quite as simple as Netlify.
- saila 6y agoHave you looked into Netlify CMS? https://www.netlifycms.org/ https://www.netlifycms.org/
- UweSchmidt 6y agoAh ok, you started with suggesting Hugo might be a bit complex... I thought I might have found an ally, someone who has been around for a bit and wary of the cambrian explosion of software projects. Someone who no longer believes in all that software that comes out, with new, cool features that add functionality, but, in my opinion, add subtle difficulty along the way that's hard to account for, death by a thousand cuts that must eventually lead to some kind of fatigue. Things that update and break and change and are deprecated and abandoned and require use of a different language, different build chain, different mental model, just to "add some posts from time to time" to a blog. Please excuse this little rant. I truly believe that anyone can find their sweet spot with any system. But what is the right fit for your relatives who want it dead simple?
