Hugo

When I originally set up this website during the COVID-19 pandemic, I decided to use the “Academic” theme from Hugo Blox (or Wowchemy Hugo Academic, as it was known back then). It was a tiny bit of a pain to get self-hosted, rather than through their solutions via Netlify, but it was manageable and I loved the colour themes, the multi-language support (because I vastly overestimated my amount of free time), and that the themes were both desktop- and mobile-friendly. However, a consistent pattern with Hugo Blox – other constantly changing the org’s name, don’t know what’s up with that – has been that updating the theme to its latest version is a chore.
