Hey folks, So I’ve been messing around with writing blog posts for my Hugo/Jekyll site directly on my phone sometimes. And whenever this topic comes up, you always hear about the Markdown editor being clunky, or wrestling with getting changes synced and committed via Git on mobile. And yeah, those can be annoying, but honestly? That’s not the main headache for me. The absolute worst part, the thing that really makes it a pain, is trying to wrestle with all that Markdown syntax on that little phone keyboard. Especially when you need to drop in an image or a link. ...

Five years ago, I was just another dev working a stable but boring job, building stuff I didn’t care about. One day, a friend messaged me: “Yo, you heard of Hugo? Static site generator. Fast as hell. Uses Markdown.” I checked it out. And it hit me—this is what I actually wanna build for. Clean tools. No bloat. Full control. So I quit my job to make something of my own. ...

Every Hugo( or Jekyll) website owner has likely experienced the charm of its efficiency and simplicity. However, when it comes to updating, modifying, or even managing website content in mobile scenarios, that convenience often takes a significant hit.

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. ...

I don’t like AI-generated content polluting my blog, but I really enjoy having AI help me with reformatting and checking for typos.

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!). ...

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. ...
