    I find it refreshing to write, not generate, HTML and CSS, and then sprinkle some JavaScript for interactivity.

    I’ve found hugo to be rather amazing in generating static HTML and CSS (converting either HTML or Markdown templates into regular HTML).

    I started out my personal website as:

    PS: Have you ever seen TheNet (1995)?

    PPS: All the HTML is pretty much all Semantic HTML, instead of Twitter’s div>div>div>div>div

      div>div>div>div>div

      Ah yes, div soup.

      By the way, have you tried different generators and compared them, or tried only Hugo, out of curiosity?

        Only Hugo; I didn’t want to try anything JS based and hugo is faaaaaast in its generation. Sub 1 second fast. It’s so nice.

          Cool! Very nice. Do you need it to be that fast or is it just nice because faster is better?

      Author here. My blog is also generated with Hugo, and it’s great. I just prefer not to generate HTML and CSS from JavaScript unless it’s necessary.

      Sorry, I haven’t seen that movie. Thanks for the recommendation though.

        Too bad you haven’t seen it - my site has a little easter egg from that movie :3
