During a Sunday afternoon in quarantine I decided to give this whole Jamstack hype a try. As a static site generator I chose Hugo.
I wrote a small personal introduction card with randomly selected job position titles, taken from a Silicon Valley Job Title Generator. Base theme is hugo-identity-theme.
Check the site.
Well, as of writing this, it is like -5° celcius. Plus a pandemic going on. So, not many alternatives of leisure time activities.
Plus, I stumbled upon the websites of @kantholtz and @tderleth and want to be part of the club!
Get yourself Hugo
brew install hugo
And run the local server
hugo server -D
In general it is straighforward to deploy Jamstack projects,
as the result is just static html
, js
and css
.
You basically just need a web server pointing at the files.
Still, I wanted to give Netlify a try as this seems the way to go with a Jamstack project.
I linked my Github account and selected this repository, the site was live within five minutes. At a first glance Netlify seems pretty convenient for smaller projects and sites.
