I love what I see so far of Site.js. Hugo's been my main site generator for a few years, so I appreciate embedding it for small sites.

My challenge: I'm often using features from the very latest Hugo version (ex: webp support in 0.83.0). The bundled hugo is at 0.78.0, a bit behind that.

  • Is a Hugo version bump planned?
  • Alternately, and probably more useful given my aforementioned fondness for shiny: is there a preferred approach to bypassing the embedded Hugo in favor of an external installed builder?

Thanks for your time and thanks for such an impressive project!

Thanks so much. I’ll make some time to look into upgrading Hugo next week. They do seem to break backwards compatibility willy-nilly so I want to make sure all our sites don’t suddenly explode :)

There is that. And though I've understood the reasoning behind Hugo's changes (like getting rid of alternate templating systems, or switching the default Markdown handler), it's always meant massive updates to my own site setup.

Thanks for looking into an upgrade! You can safely consider it a low priority. Heck we could even close this issue if you like. What I'm exploring at the moment is Site.js layered over my own site build. Way off the tracks for your intended use case I'm sure.
