Why do I keep seeing people that use #Emacs #OrgMode with an external static website generator, usually Hugo, to make a website? Is there something wrong with the org-publish subsystem that comes with org-mode? It seems to work well to me.

Or maybe there's nothing wrong per se with org-publish, but Hugo is somehow better? I can't really imagine Hugo is more extensible than org-publish, but maybe it's better in some other way?

@oantolin Well, I haven't used any #staticwebpage generator except my own: #lazyblorg.

The reason why I programmed my own generator was that I could not get the features I wanted to have anywhere else:

- blog posts anywhere I like them: among my tasks/projects/contacts/...
- absolute minimal effort to write a post
- that includes also being able to include images with just mentioning their file name
- navigation via #tags and #TagTrees (combination of different tags - very cool!)
- different types of pages: temporal, persistent, ...
- different Atom #feeds for the users: all articles, just one tag, all articles that combine 2 tags

It just feels "home" to me.

@oantolin Most likely, most readers of my blog never discover those cool and unusual way of navigating through my set of articles. 🤷

Since I don't collect data beyond the normal server log, I can not tell if it is working or not.
