Hugo & Bilberry Features

1 min read Hugo

This site is built using Hugo Static Website Builder .

Written in Go, Hugo is an open source static site generator available under the Apache Licence 2.0. Hugo supports TOML, YAML and JSON data file types, Markdown and HTML content files and uses shortcodes to add rich content. Other notable features are taxonomies, multilingual mode, image processing, custom output formats, HTML/CSS/JS minification and support for Sass SCSS workflows.

I use a customised version of the Bilberry theme, which is a premium theme featuring comprehensive built-in functionality and integrations such as:

  • built-in integration for the wonderful algolia search
  • built-in integration for the powerful giscus comments
  • gravatar and custom image integration for the header
  • keyboard shortcut for the search (press the ’s’ key, type something and hit ’enter’ or ’esc')
  • responsive design - optimized for desktop and mobile devices
  • full internationalization (i18n) support (en, de, fr, ru, es out of the box!)
  • full multi-language support
  • custom post types (‘article’, ‘audio’, ‘code’, ‘gallery’, ’link’, ‘page’, ‘picture’, ‘quote’, ‘video’)
    • easy configuration to add more according to your needs

This Bilberry theme is inspired by the WordPress Lingonberry theme from Anders Norén
