This one has been long overdue, but my personal website finally got a makeover. https://alexlakatos.com/
It used to look like this:

A minutes build time with olny under 100 posts. That's really slow.
yeah, and it was pretty inconsistent, ranging from 2 to 10 minutes.
I like it! Very old, computer terminal vibe. And the dark mode by default is a nice visual break.
As a heads up, there may be a broken image at the top of the about pageFixed!My current site is HTML & CSS only, with the blog on Wordpress. I like the minimalness of the front-end and the low-key reference to my favorite.
My plan is to move everything to a static site set up, probably 11ty, but I haven't found the time to get deep into that yet. Maybe I'll stream the learn and build process. 🤔
Yeah, that's what I went for, a terminal vibe. Thanks for spotting that issue, I forgot to add a conditional in the template to check for images being declared in the frontmatter 😅
I've seen a few mentions of 11ty lately, just in this post are a couple so far, I think I'm going to give it a try for the rebuild of developeravocados.net. It would be awesome if you streamed your process!
And I've just pushed a fix to that issue, along with a light mode switch, thanks again for spotting it.
I really love the design! It kinda reminds me of the new design of the shoptalkshow, I bet you'd like the visuals their!:D
Btw I noticed that your picture under the about page isn't linked correctly.
Also here is my website/portfolio. I still need to add at least English language support. I'm also planning to add some little gimmicks. But so far this my most favorite iteration so far. I think I rebuilt my site around 8 times. 😅
Thanks for spotting that, I forgot to add a conditional in the template to check for images being declared in the frontmatter 😅
Didn't know about shoptalkshow.com/, but wow, does it look pretty.
What's the current iteration of yours built on?
You're welcome, mate!:D
The first iterations were built with just HTML and CSS. Then I switched to Drupal to be more flexible with my content. But I wanted something lighter than this "big" monolithic system. So I switched gears again. 😅
The current iteration is built with Cockpit CMS (a open source headless CMS) and Vue on the frontend.
And I've just pushed a fix to that issue, along with a light mode switch, thanks again for spotting it.
I did mine with vanilla PHP/HTML/css :)
Your logo looks really good!
Thanks! Its an old drawing I made a few years ago, I was trying to draw a manatee :D
I was looking at Gridsome as an alternative, I've given Nuxt & Vue a spin in the recent past. But the simplicity of Hugo, and the fact that Hui Jing had a nifty migration guide/gotchas, those were the main factors for going Hugo.
Gatsby is slower than Hugo. But latest Gatsby version can build faster with incremental build feature.
That's interesting, I've seen an incremental mode on Hugo as well, but I don't think I turned that on in Netlify.
I didn't do a deep build speed research when I chose the static site generator, but that's just because most things out there are faster than Jekyll 3.x. And Github Pages wasn't going to support Jekyll 4.
What's your setting to implement Hugo incremental build?
It's more of a cache than an incremental build. Changing my partials to use partialCached instead decreased build time from 20 something seconds to 15.
I love the design🔥🔥
Thanks. That was mostly Hui Jing!
Looks amazing! Love the retro vibe!
Thanks, that's what I was going for!
A minute build time is really nice! Does HUGO also do image optimisations?
My new GatsbyJS sites takes minutes, but it also generates a huge amount of optimised images. 🤔
Hugo has a image processing pipeline, I haven't gotten around to turning it on in my website yet.
