Hugo Migration
In yet another contradiction of my first post, I have migrated this blog to Hugo. Previously, I was using 11ty (Eleventy) as my blog framework. I enjoyed 11ty and had no problems with it. However, with their recent rebranding announcement, I’ve decided to move on.
11ty, which is changing its name to Build Awesome after joining up with Font Awesome, appears to be moving toward monetization. That’s fine, no shade if they want to get paid, but it’s not a ride I want to stay on for my blog framework. Additionally, changing the name from 11ty to Build Awesome feels like going from something unique and hip to something bland and corporate. A name change like that is the kind of decision that foreshadows future decisions.
I don’t see Hugo making any similar alterations. Hugo is open-source with no monetization plans, has an active community, and has been around for a long time. I just want something lightweight that works, something open-source that I can depend on without thinking about it. Hugo feels like that.
Good luck, Build Awesome.
