I tried many modules this weekend. Note that different themes have different words and key/vals in the above stanza so I better not confuse them. For instance, this page has a featured_image which only works with Ananke, and a image which probably works with other themes.

What I’ve tried so far:

Symlinking across all pages.

• so far only tried one - definitely golang won’t notice the changed symlinked file.
• Notice that STACK is currently in a DIFFEERENT place. Let me move it for a second.

My Hugo websites I’ve tried so far

All the code is in different directories of my GH repo: https://github.com/palladius/ricc.rocks/

(*) Permacompare: permalink in prod to the comparison page :)

• PaperMod: it works! https://ricc.rocks/ not explored much yet. Comparison page: https://ricc.rocks/posts/papermod-analysis-page/

• Stack: First, has math. https://hugo-stack.ricc.rocks then I just love it!

• Bootstrap: https://hugo-bootstrap-ricc-rocks.netlify.app/

• ZZO: TODO

• TranquilPeak TODO Lost the battle:

• Coder: Naah, too simple for me.

• Ananke. Too simple

Photo Albums

• Only XXX seems to have decent photo albums. However, people are saying “i wish your theme was as good as Photoswipe” so I believe I might just get PhotoSwipe to work with anything else: see HugoPhotoSwipe.
• maybe check https://github.com/liwenyip/hugo-easy-gallery but i dont think its worht it. (505 ⭐️).
• Or just code it (I wish it was Ruby and not Golang): https://hugocodex.org/add-ons/image-gallery/
• or use this awesome library: demo in https://matze.rocks/images/#gallery-filter=Landscape

PaperMod

I spent little time so far - but its just my fault, not his :)

Docs: https://github.com/adityatelange/hugo-PaperMod/

NEUTRAL:

• supports many icons, but unsure how to use them
• Supports Maths, but unsure on how to make it work/
• emoji are nice, once enaled you can do 🙈 :see_no_evil: 🙉 :hear_no_evil: 🙊 :speak_no_evil:

BAD 😩:

• too simple. Doesnt have something about me as a blogger, its just a pure (sleek) container for news. Nothing about Riccardo, just my articles.

Bootstrap

• Image docs: https://hbs.razonyang.com/v1/en/docs/image-processing/#resizing-images Plenty of good stuff here, also I found a bug and the guy fixed it in 24h - AMAZING.
• Gallery docs: https://hbs.razonyang.com/v1/en/docs/shortcodes/gallery/

Old stuff

Ananke ⭐️⭐️

Status: Old:

BAD 😩:

• too simple. Eg, contact form is amongst posts (seriously?)
• no image gallery Im afraid
