Thank you for saying so! That's super awesome too, this is not so different under the hood, I used libxml for getting the content and pandoc for converting -- pandoc turned out to …

Thank you for commenting! It does put your files into a Hugo directory structure and includes the smol theme. It doesn't recreate your theme, plugins, or process your images, but I…

I totally agree. This came about because of a pretty expensive quote the person I was talking to got.

Thank you for commenting! Really the reason I picked Hugo is because that's what the person I was talking to wanted. He'd only found contractors who would charge more than he wante…

In my case, at least a big part of it is I'm looking for a job again and doing something like this to get myself out there, I already had one person who was interested in this spec…

Thanks, I’m really glad you like it! It’s been a lot of fun to work on. It does use a few different IPs/servers, and I think some could be combined. If you do end up moving towards…

Those are good points, thank you for the feedback and well-wishes!

Hi Hacker News, I want to show you something I’ve been working on: MyJekyllBlog. It’s a multi-user CMS and hosting platform for Jekyll blogs. There is a web application that users …
