This is awesome, and would solve an actual problem I've been thinking through... if only I had selected Jekyll for my static site generator. Does anyone know of a similar solution for Hugo? Technically I'm sure I could run a script to generate .md (or a format like .csv that Hugo can work with) from my database, but this seems like it might be easier for a database that updates frequently.

Oh my god , I had written the exact same comment when seeing this for the first time , and then I scrolled to see your comment. Xd , definitely felt a bit of deja vu. Yeh I am genuinely interested in this project. but I don't think I have the technical prowess to manage it , but I am going to try but I hope that others could somehow create it as well (since I have created nothing open source which people care about)

  When I started this project, I seriously consider building it for Hugo, but the plugin system actively disallows such things, there’s no scope for dynamic plugins like these.

As others have said, the plug-in system for Hugo is weaker than Jekyll. I think preprocessing is a viable alternative. I built something that generates markdown (especially the preambles) from a sqlite database. As a separate step, Hugo generates the web pages. My code is messy, and probably not suitable for others, but it's here: https://github.com/ralexander-phi/rss-blogroll-network/blob/91e1c370ae0f0c7dcf8cfce7014845b162f03733/analyze.go#L556 https://github.com/ralexander-phi/rss-blogroll-network/blob/... This uses a weekly web crawler run to populate the sqlite database (https://github.com/ralexander-phi/feed2pages-action/tree/main https://github.com/ralexander-phi/feed2pages-action/tree/mai...) and it generates a couple thousand pages which are then hosted on GitHub Pages (https://alexsci.com/rss-blogroll-network/ https://alexsci.com/rss-blogroll-network/).
