I'm using Hugo for my blog, so this is good to hear. My only complaint so far is having to embed front matter in my .md files. Mixing JSON and Markdown feels wrong.

Question: my blog is a git repo of .md files that I run through Hugo and then rsync to my host. Wouldn't it be possible to write a web app that just hits the repo on Github and renders to HTML, and skip Hugo altogether? Are there downsides other than performance?

That represents more than half of what could be required.

This is amazing.

At a cost of $45 billion. Or, 6% of the US defense budget. Good for Germany.
ploden··on Cash Might Be King, but They Don’t Care
After living in Germany, I can't go anywhere without cash. It's like walking out the door without my keys.
