Minimum Viable Hugo – No CSS, no JavaScript, 1 static HTML page to start you off

Use SSI for header/footer/menu segments and write about 5 lines of bash and you've got all the site generator you need, too, and you can run your "generator" on basically any unixy machine without installing anything.

I find writing raw HTML for basic documents to be very fast and easy with a modern editor with hinting/autocomplete. Not any slower than Markdown, really.

I wrote a bash script (https://gist.github.com/lelanthran/2634fc2508c93a437ba5ca511...) that lets me very simply add new posts to my blog.

For my actual blog I reversed the order that the first are processed. Looks okay, I think, just short on functionality (no I Tractivity).

As an oldie on the web, i would state that while it might be "ancient, arcane", but it was amazingly awesome at the time....and some still leverage this neat technology to great benefit. ;-)

Doesn't SSI kind of make the site not static anymore?
