How to Update a Hugo Blog on a Phone

It is well-known that the process of publishing a blog has always been cumbersome due to the absence of backend solutions in static blog programs like HUGO, HEXO, and Jekyll. Previously, I used various methods to update my blog, but all of them required a PC. PC Method VSCODE+Github My initial approach was to edit in VSCODE, generate static files in the Public directory locally using the Hugo command, and then submit them to Github Pages for direct publication. Later, I found the Hugo generation process too cumbersome, so I switched to editing and directly submitting to Github, then using Github Actions to generate blog files and publish them to Github Pages. ...

What’s up, HUGONEST crew! Another day, another round of code wrangling. Kept the momentum going today, focusing on smoothing out some core experiences within the app. Today’s big focus was on the blogging features. Specifically, I implemented navigation between blog posts. You know, the classic “Next Post” / “Previous Post” links you see everywhere? Yep, HUGONEST has that now! Should make browsing through content a whole lot easier and keep people engaged without having to jump back to an index page constantly. Small change, big usability win (I hope!). ...

HUGONEST: Dark Mode & GitHub Login Integration Now Available!

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all doing great. Just wanted to share what I’ve been hammering away at for HUGONEST over the past day or so. Been focused on a couple of features I know folks have been asking for (or will appreciate!). First up, HUGE news for all you night owls (and anyone who just digs a sleeker look): Dark Mode is officially in! 🌙 Spent a good chunk of time getting this dialed in. The best part? It’s not just an on/off switch – I made sure it hooks into your system settings. So, if your OS flips to dark mode at sunset, HUGONEST will follow right along. Of course, you’ll still have the option to manually set it if that’s more your style. Pretty stoked about how this turned out visually. ...
