This is cool, and props for scratching your own itch, but this does seem like an incremental/niche improvement over Hugo. I'm curious if you talked to the Hugo community about supporting those features? I don't mean to imply that you should have done so--"I wanted to build my own" is a totally valid reason not to bother.



I don't really like the template engine available in Go (especially the godawful one in the std) so I would have needed to write one or use pongo2 but probably wouldn't have been accepted in Hugo: https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/1359

The assets colocations issue was raised in 2014 and it might come soon but I don't think it's there yet: https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/keep-images-content-together/5.... Same thing for Sass compilation: https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/support-for-html-css-js-prepro...


FWIW I'm glad you wrote this. Having looked at Jekyll alternatives before, the field is severely lacking especially in terms of static sites generators that don't immediately assume you're publishing a blog.


Cool! Thanks for the information. Good luck with Gutenberg!
