Hugo is not made for minimum viable blogs. Its advantage in performance only becomes important for bigger websites or blogs with thousands of articles. But especially for bigger websites it should be possible to auto-generate a good archive. However the developers of Hugo stubbornly refuse to fix this very important 8 year old issue: https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/448 https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/448
That is quite unfortunate, because it makes Hugo "the worlds fastest framework for building huge websites without a useful archive".
- frosted-flakes 4y agoIt doesn't sound like the Hugo developer (bep) "stubbornly refuses" to fix that issue. It's on the roadmap, after all. Rather, it sounds like it's simply not a high priority task, and other things have taken up his time. It is a free product, after all.
- amai 4y agoIt's on the roadmap since 8 years. But the problem I have with this free kind of software is that they claim on their website " The world's fastest framework for websites". That generates some expectations. They don't claim "the world's slowest hobby project, written by people in their spare time for no money." So it shouldn't be a surprise that people get disappointed, if important features are missing from "the world's fastest framework".
