Just last week I decided to try a different tech than I'm used to to run up a site. I did a little research then searched GitHub and found Hugo. I read the Hugo docs, followed their beginners guide and... Didn't get fucking anywhere. Their docs are out of date, the examples are out of date. It looked so promising but my brain works best when referencing examples and when I couldn't even get those to work, well, I don't have time for that these days.
If anyone knows another static site generator with up to date documentation and an easy to run up example please let me know.
I use zola for my sites. It's got not as many templates as hugo but my sites don't use templates and I found it very straightforward to use from scratch.
