Trying Out Static Site Generation with Hugo and Org-mode

I’ve been using Emacs off and on for years. What made me crawl back to it this time was org-roam which implements a Zettelkasten personal knowledge system in org-mode. After using this for a bit and really enjoying it, I thought I’d explore using org-mode itself for more of my writing and note taking needs.

One of the results of this is this site. Right now I’m typing in a full-screen zen-mode buffer holding my site’s .org file. It’s very ergonomic and by narrowing my view to just this post: entirely distraction free. Once I’m finished and I save this file, ox-hugo is going to convert this org mode file into markdown files for hugo to use to generate the whole site.
