I may be wrong here, but I understood Hugo sites to be static sites, therefore not supporting comments, for example. How does your tool handle migrating a WordPress side with comments to a Hugo site?
My service only converts the blog posts and pages themself and helps you get started on a conversion.

Does it handle themes, plugins, etc., as well? Thx.
Good. But I do wonder why we're flooded with "services" like that when a simple open-source Python script could do this. $150 FFS. I hope you have clients but the open-source dev inside me is dying a bit. Edit: 413 Request Entity Too Large.
Thanks for the 413 note! I've just upped the client_max_body_size if you want to give it a try again.
WP lets me drag/drop or upload media very very easily. Has done for years.
Hugo? or indeed most SSG's?
$150 haha. Wtf.
This is ~1 hour of software engineer, ~2 hours of technology generalist time. Time is non renewable, and humans have a cost. If you're an agency, business, whatever, and have the need to make something WP static via Hugo, this is a reasonable cost to solve the problem quick.

Makes sense, you're right. I'm glad this single-use static file converter is $150. Thank you.
Was curious why you picked Hugo over something like Astro. I'm migrating a site off of Jekyll and have found Astro has a lot of interesting features if I want to use them but is at its heart a static site generator and seems to be a pretty easy lift to migrate to. Haven't done much evaluation of Hugo yet.
Thanks for sharing @symkat, love seeing developer side projects. Was curious why you picked Hugo over something like Astro.

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 wanted to pay to do a manual conversion, and said even something that just got his pages and posts over would be worthwhile to him.
I have more experience with Jekyll. In fact, I had tried to start a hosted platform with a CMS for it that I opened sourced a while back (https://github.com/symkat/MyJekyllBlog) but it never really got traction.
At this point I'm actively looking for a new job and figured getting this on Hacker News might be helpful for that.
I hadn't heard of Astro before, it looks neat!
