Hugo is amazing - it has all the bells and whistles. But that comes with a price: It's also huge (80k+ LOC, excluding its many many dependencies) and complex.
Well… I wasn't using much of those bells and whistles. So here we are - everything looks the same but the blog is now rendered using a 500 LOC wrapper around go-org: blorg.
It lives in the same repository. It's no hugo but it does what I want and it's simple. Also it's configured using an org file - so apart from my ./content
directory
there's just a ./blorg.org
file - which looks kinda like this:
#+OPTIONS: toc:nil title:nil
#+CONTENT: content
#+PUBLIC: public
#+TITLE: Blog
* templates
** head
#+name: head
#+begin_src html
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/style.css" type="text/css" />
<title>{{ .Title }}</title>
</head>
#+end_src
** header
#+name: header
#+begin_src html
<header class='header'>

</li>
{{ end }}
</ul>
<ul>

I'll add more bells and whistles as I need them. Which means I can safely rest since a blog that's not used doesn't need much :P.
