- trustno2 2y agoIt's a static site generator. You have some templates, some content, some themes, all in a repo. Hugo looks at that and generates some HTML that you then need to somehow serve yourself. It has some positives and negatives with respect to WordPress. Mostly, unlike WordPress, you don't have auth (authentication AND authorization) within the system itself, but have some access to some repo+some CI system+some upload system+some HTTP server through.... some other means.
- devsda 2y ago> The tech world is too big. Had the same realization today. Hugo was my first introduction to the idea of static site generators. That got me thinking what other tools pre-dated it and then I found this excellent series on the evolution of SSGs [1]. The only name I recognize in there is Jekyll !! 1. https://cloudcannon.com/blog/ssg-history-1-before-jekyll/ https://cloudcannon.com/blog/ssg-history-1-before-jekyll/
