About the site

Previously I was using Django to create my personal blog. But as I do not need any kind of server side processing, I thought that django is kind of an overshoot (and also hard to regularly maintain and post compared to many static site generators).

So I started looking for alternatives which are easy to maintain and update. Then I came across the concept of Jamstack and numerous number of static site generators. Among the popular ones, I tried using Gatsby, Jekyll, Hugo, and Hexo. Mike Dane’s channel helped me a lot to get started with these pretty quickly.

Among all the ones I tried, I was impressed by the performance and simplicity of Hugo. I am using it to build this website.
