Git-based front-end interface for Hugo

I wanted to be able to write posts on my phone, and it's not easy to do that with Markdown. Adding images is also always a headache: copy them, minimize and compress them, remember the correct syntax for images, and type the path. > How did you make it? I used Google Stitch for the design and…

In plain words

Hugo Flow is a Git-based CMS for Hugo static site generators that requires no backend, database, or configuration. Users log in with GitHub, select their repository, and edit content directly. It simplifies mobile blogging and image handling by automating compression and syntax. Built for Hugo bloggers who want an easier way to publish from phones or other devices without managing Markdown and image files manually.

Simple rich-text CMS for Hugo weblogs. Try at https://hugo-flow.arashtaher.com - arashThr/hugo-flow

A web-based front-end interface for Hugo static blogs hosted on GitHub. There are several established alternatives in the Git CMS space (like Decap CMS, Sveltia CMS, Pages CMS, and Quiqr). However, they generally require you to trade simplicity for flexibility. For example: Hugo-Flow is different. The goal is total zero-setup simplicity . By exclusively supporting GitHub repositories and interacting entirely through the GitHub API, the application remains completely stateless, secure, and configuration-free. There are no extra files added to your repo and no intrusive permission scopes required. You are literally two clicks away from editing a post: just Sign in with GitHub , select your…from github.com

  • Pages CMS – A CMS for GitHub2024 · pagescms.org · ▲351

    In a nutshell: 1. You log in with your GitHub account. 2. You select the GitHub repo where your site/app is at (whether it's Next.js, 11ty, Hugo, Nuxt... as long as you're using flat files for content). 3. You add a single config file to your repo to define the content types and other settings (e.g. media folder). 4. Congrats: you now have a user friendly CMS to manage content + media BUT all changes are still tracked like regular commits (under your account) on GitHub. I started using Jekyll around 2009 and over the course of the past 10+ years, I've helped build major sites and tiny…

    I made a service to convert WordPress blogs to Hugo2025 · wp2hugo.blogdb.org · ▲98

    Hi Hacker News! I made this project to read a WordPress export and create the markdown files for Hugo. It'll speed up the process of moving your blog over to Hugo and let you avoid a bunch of manual work. It came about when I was talking to somebody who was trying to move their site over and didn't want to manually copy and reformat all their posts. They had trouble finding a tool to do it, so I wrote one. I want to make sure it's useful to people before charging them, so it'll give you a download with 3 pages and 5 blog posts converted for free and without asking for any information. If you…

    I created a cross-platform GUI for the JJ VCS (Git compatible)2025 · ▲140

    Personally, I think the JJ VCS (https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj) hit a point some time in this past year where I find it hard to find a great reason to continue using git. Over the years I've cobbled together aliases and bash functions to try to improve my git workflow, but after using jj, which works with ~any git repo and integrates great with Github repos, all of the workflow issues I ran into with git are not only solved, but improved in ways I couldn't manage with simple scripts. One example is the op log, which lets you go to any point in your repo's time and provides…

    00's called, they want their RSS feeds back. I was looking at my growing Github gist collection when a sudden urge to blog and make a name for myself "by not programming" struck. Part way into implementing my oh so special static website generator it occurred to me that, quite frankly, Github gists is a pretty decent publishing platform. I mean, it gives you reasonably extended markdown with previews, heck I could even write in org-mode, has comments, follower - followee relationship, extended search with filters, check out locally and push your edits. Did someone say "edit button"? Thus the…

  • Talanoa▲341

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
