Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Hugo and host it on vercel. Free, simple and quick.
  • It's more on the techy side, but HUGO is a good option. It's a static site generator that takes your markdown files and turns them into html. There's a lot of premade themes online you can build from or make one from scratch.
  • this subreddit will always criticise non-JS frameworks like Hu⁤go and its Tailwind design system, Hu⁤goBlox, but there's a place for Go too!
  • I tried hugo a long time ago and liked it. I have a buddy using it now and he likes it.
  • Hugo works great! Personally, I found Hugo preferable to Jekyll. Build times are quick and you can host it on the edge.

Cons

  • It’s a much easier starting point than the likes of Hugo or Proust.
  • Great idea! Whats the advantage over a framework like Hugo? Seems to tackle a similar problem.

I have started to build it using hugo! A photography portfolio and a blog to run away from instagram. I am uploading the site to github and using cloudflare works to deploy it.

Hugo is quite good, it was shot in 3D AFAIK, the opening scenes have snow falling in front of the screen.

Also, look into pay-per-mile options like Hugo or Metromile if they’re in your state.

Best choices at this time in my opinion are Hugo, Eleventy (aka 11ty).

using mkdocs or another documentation generator or a theme for jekyll or hugo is free (minus your domain cost). all it needs is your content in markdown in git.
