This is the source of my personal web site & blog which is powered by Hugo.
If you want to check out my web site or fork it to your own needs, you'll need to have Hugo installed on your system:
$ brew install hugo
Once Hugo is installed, go to the root of my web site's directory and run hugo server.
Afterwards, you can access what's being locally broadcasted via localhost:1313.
You can find more about getting started with Hugo from here.
In every project I build, I prefer to depend on a minimum number of dependencies not because I want to invent the wheel every single time but because dependencies should be carefully managed otherwise they get out of control.
That being said, there are quite a lot of nice & handy stuff out there to make your life easier. Here are the ones I make use of in this web site of mine:
I believe Hugo is one of the best things that happened to the web. I sincerely respect the development teams of other CMS' out there, however, they're clunky & complicate things for no reason.
With Hugo's simple(simple doesn't mean basic!) approach, you not just get a fast but easy-to-manage system with the peace of mind given by an awesome CLI. From there on, you can also connect it to your CI/CD pipeline.
Minimal, is the theme my website is built upon which is developed by Calin Tataru.
Since it's a simple theme, the visual structure is mostly the same with some modifications here and there but I've made a lot of changes under the hood. You can find my fork here.
If you're writing pure CSS, you're making a huge mistake. That's it. Go use SASS now!
I like the way how Bootstrap approaches the endeavour of providing you the fundamentals. We all need the same set of grid structure, typography, buttons, labels and etc.
Bootstrap gives all of these in a tight manner, without dirtying your project and you can continue building up from there.
And yeah, who doesn't need icons.
It's nice to have a good animation for your pictures.
