I originally found out about Hugo after browsing Hacker News (YCombinator) and coming across a blog with a footer containing a link to Hugo’s site. You can scroll to the bottom to get an exact example of what I’m talking about. If you click on the link you can see Hugo advertised as: “One of the most popular open-source static site generators.” Beforehand, I had been thinking about creating my own site and was researching what exactly I wanted to build my site with. Reading this I immediately bookmarked it. Hugo also claims to be the world’s fastest framework for building websites. Have no clue how true that is. Although Hugo is freakin fast once everything is set up. I specifically wanted to create my site as a blog and hugo seemed perfect for that. If you look at the themes for hugo it’s mostly just blogs.
