After many years of using Hugo as a static site generator and moving my blog from blogging software to blogging software over the years I realized:
- It's fun to play around with static site generators as a technical person
- It's very annoying to actually write content (As you link images by using the file name, no nice editing interface, using a markdown editor is clunky as features of the blogging software (Embedded videos tags etc.) are not supported
- It's impossible for non-technical people to use it. My main reason why I would never introduce a static site generator for documentation at work again.
- You still need some kind of tooling to generate RSS feeds, sitemaps, pagination, so I've settled on https://getkirby.com https://getkirby.com for now which has a nice editor interface but is file based and doesn't need a database. Makes it easy to backup and move between hosts if needed.
