This is my website built with Hugo & Congo and is deployed on Netlify. These tools do an amazing amount of work for you and take care of all the hard parts. You just need to configure and hack them to your liking.

Things that hugo and congo provide for free

These are the things I'm utilizing.

• Fully responsive layout with Tailwind CSS 3 -> allows for easy customization from markdown
• Supply your own colour scheme
• Dark mode -> easy to hook into in css
• Multilingual content support -> (de/en)
• Client-side site search powered by Fuse.js -> works great
• Diagrams and visualisations using Mermaid, Charts using Chart.js
• Automatic image resizing using Hugo Pipes
• Heading anchors, Tables of Contents, Code copy, Buttons, Badges and more
• HTML and Emoji support in articles
• SEO friendly
• Analytics integration
• RSS feeds, Favicons
• Optimised for performance and accessibility with perfect Lighthouse scores

Features and customization on top of congo

This is the stuff I added that improves functionality.

• Validate that internal links and image links exist
• Use githubs dark and light themes for code highlighting
• Renamed RSS feeds to rss.xml
• Exclude articles from the rss feed with excludeRss: true in the front matter
• Set Lastmod value based on last commit date
• If date = dateUpdated and showDate: false and showDateUpdated: true -> show dateUpdated

Plus shortcodes and such.
