Make the Web Fun Again
Introducing Hugo, a new idea around making website creation simple again. Hugo flexibly works with many formats and is ideal for blogs, docs, portfolios and much more. Hugo’s speed fosters creativity and makes building a website fun again.
Run Anywhere
Hugo is quite possibly the easiest to install software you’ve ever used, simply download and run. Hugo doesn’t depend on administrative privileges, databases, runtimes, interpreters or external libraries. Sites built with Hugo can be deployed on S3, GitHub Pages, Dropbox or any web host.
Fast & Powerful
Hugo is written for speed and performance. Great care has been taken to ensure that Hugo build time is as short as possible. We’re talking milliseconds to build your entire site for most setups.
Flexible
Hugo is designed to work how you do. Organize your content however you want with any URL structure. Declare your own content types. Define your own meta data in YAML, TOML or JSON. Use indexes to group your content however you want. Best of all this is all done with virtually no configuration, Hugo just works.
Hugo is super-rad.

I had a play with Hugo and it was good, uses Markdown files for content

Even as a long-time Octopress fan, I’ve gotta admit that this project Hugo looks very very cool

A static site generator without the long build times? Yes, please!

Finally someone builds me my own static site generator

I’m loving the static site generator renaissance we are currently enjoying. Hugo is new, looks great, written in Go

Checking out Hugo; Loving it so far. Like Jekyll but not so blog-oriented and written in go

Building a personal website in Hugo. Works like a charm. And written in @golang!

OK, so in today's speed battle of static site generators, @spf13's hugo is kicking everyone's ass, by miles.

I think I'm going to level up and try @spf13 's Hugo for my next project.

I just fell in love with #hugo, a static site/blog engine written by @spf13 in #golang + stellar docs

Another site generated with Hugo here! I'm getting in love with it.

#Hugo is the new @jekyllrb / @middlemanapp! Faster, easier and runs everywhere.

Jekyll is dead to me these days though... long live Hugo! Hugo is *by far* the best in its field. Thanks for making it happen.

Finally the answer to the question my parents have been asking: What does Hugo do?
— Hugo Roy (@hugoroyd) August 19, 2014
Also, I re-launched my blog (it looks the same as before) using Hugo, a *fast* static engine. Very happy with it. gohugo.io
