First steps
It seems like I finally managed to build this website and it only took me a day. Yea, let’s see what the future brings…
Technology
Why did I choose Hugo for this website? It’s a lightweight, fast, and modern open-source framework designed to create websites in a unique and simple way. Hugo is seperated in theming and content, so it is simply best fit for blog like this. I just dislike webbuilders like Wordpress, requiring huge installations and lack proper design / functionality extensibility. Static HTML and frameworks for example Vue or React are just too much hassle to set up and maintain for this usecase.
I created this table visualize my usecase.
| Technology | Ease of use | Extensibility | Price | Content Manageable | Performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hugo | ~ | + | + | + | + |
| Wordpress | + | - | + | + | - |
| Other Webbuilder | + | - | - | + | - |
| Static HTML | - | + | + | - | + |
| Vue, React … | - | + | + | - | + |
