Any suggestions for static site generators / where to host? I'm thinking about starting a new blog with Hugo / Digital Ocean.

I have a popular Spark blog on Wordpress (https://mungingdata.com/) and can relate to your sentiment that any inconvenience can hold up the writing process. Your post is motivating me to streamline my publishing process.



Hugo is great, and they have a section with tutorials on how to host on a bunch of different platforms, so pick the one that you're most comfortable with or seems best/cheapest:

If you have no idea, Netlify is good and with a good free tier.


Netlify is great, I was on GitHub Pages and Neocities before, but after I got my own domain, moving the site to Netlify was a matter of minutes.


Gitlab and Github both have static site hosting options. Netlify works great as well.

We've gotten it to the point where we just push new pages via git and it all works. Anything more and you'll find yourself procrastinating ever so little at a time...


What's your tech stack?
