wanted to build a blog.
decided on hugo.
why?
customisation
dark mode -- persistence
material icons, not fontawesome - fontawesome bloated,
unfortunately no social icons
require only a few icons so decided to use svg and partial templates
this does duplicate the code (the rendered code, not the source code - duplication of code is bad in source code) but because of the size of them think this is worth it
adds a little to size of page - but don't need to load fontawesome file (although probably cached when using cdn)
could have used them as regular assets and included in img tag but why didn't I?
challenges
not knowing Go
solution - learn go in y minutes
looks an interesting language - would like to learn more when got enough time
impressions of hugo
fast
sometimes forget just how fast static sites are
the future
add comments - don't like sound of disquss
consider adding google analytics
conflicted about google
