Nothing flashy, I'm just going to be having a standard Github/Gitlab Pages site with a homepage with my ugly mug on it, a blog, and my dev portfolio.

I've used Jekyll before and it was fine, but I'm interested in Hugo as well. If anyone has used those, drop a comment here, or if you have any other suggestions as well.

    I'm late but I started with Jekyll and moved to Hugo, haven't had the need to look elsewhere yet.

    Hugo is fine. I use one i wrote myself in Python, it's fun to hack improvements onto it and I like how minimal it is.

    I've had good luck with pelican for blog-ish content. Themes are all built with jinja and documentation is decent, so not difficult to customize or roll your own. But this is not one of my areas of expertise so I'm interested to read other opinions.

    If you aren't afraid of JavaScript, Gatsby is very nice.

      When I see JavaScript, I say "AAAAAAAGH, JAVASCRIPT!!!" When JavaScript sees me, it says "AAAAAAAAGH, u/shyamalamadingong!!!"

      not even kidding, because I block JS lol. But I've heard good things about Gatsby. thanks

        Developing in JS !== Serving js

          Yeah I'm aware. I still really don't enjoy developing in JS or having a full node installation for just one thing.
