hanscees, Dutch

Yesterday I tried to add a #blog in #hugo.
What a shitshow. There a 1000 blogs on the internet telling you how simple Hugo is, how fast.
And non explains (with examples) how to write a text in #md markdown or how to add an html formatted item
#nerds who write simple in their blog of 16 pages howto do something really don't understand the are actually frustrating the beginner or intermediate.
Don't write "simple" because you already know something
#hugo is complex and difficult

There I said it

hanscees,

And I am a 20+ year user. Just for the record having written many technical howtos like here

hanscees,

@aral
You have a blog solution framework right? I am fed up with , where can I find your software and hopefully an howto or docs?

@hanscees Sorry, don’t have a turnkey blog solution. You could build a blog using Kitten¹ but you’d likely find that more work than even Hugo as it doesn’t have any blog-specific functionality baked in.

Have you looked at https://write.as/? (It also federates.)

hanscees,

@aral And also you don't explain either.

Many kittens though and if statements in html

osslate,

@hanscees if Markdown is new to you, here's a resource that'll walk you through: https://commonmark.org/help/tutorial/

@aral

hanscees,

@osslate @aral Very kind 👍 thanks

I am also looking where #hugo keeps it's list of articles.
I have made an article. OK, fine every blog on Hugo learns you that.

But I made a mistake and want to throw away an article. Can I just delete it and that's it? Or is there some database somewhere I kust also delete it in?

@hanscees @osslate Yeah, Hugo is a file based static site generator. There is no database. It uses your Markdown files to generate your static HTML site. So just delete the markdown file for the article.
