Here comes the "I use org mode BTW" comment.

When it comes to my personal websites, I use org mode, because publishing is actually an exception in my day to day life. I use emacs for org mode only, but I use it all day long to keep notes, track todos, document projects, write prose and messages. Sometimes, I think something is worth publishing, so I mark it with the appropriate tags, run the publish command and let syncthing update the websites.

I have used hugo for a dozen significant project and I like it. I have chosen hugo over the alternatives because I prefer go to javascript, ruby and python in almost all possible regards. I even teach classes to journalism students with hugo and gitlab.

Static site generators are great for "projects" but as a individual willing to share some mildly interesting content as a side effect of his daily activities, I still consider them too much work and maintenance.



Have you considered org-mode to markdown and ikiwiki? That seems to be the simplest single-user publishing system I’m aware of.


No, I have not. I have chosen org for its numerous features and publishing is just one of them.
