I've been putting together a website for my partner's research group (as one does). I went with #hugo because that's what I use in my personal site but this time I found a lot more friction. Granted, it was a more complex setup (multilingual + Decap CMS + existing template) but man, Hugo can be cryptic with its error messages. And you better pin a specific version as it tends to break things between upgrades.

What do people use for static sites nowadays?

This excellent post by @slightlyoff should be enlightening for everyone working on anything that involves Frontend, but it's an absolutely mandatory read for those working on #opensource and #civictech aiming to have a truly global impact and reach as many users as possible.

"[...] the gap between the digital haves and have-nots continues to grow. Those least able to afford the fast devices are actively taxed by developers high on their own developer experience (DX)."
