Robert Kingett<p>So I’m playing around with <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Hugo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hugo</span></a> modules, and this really is a much easier way to do Hugo. Is there a database of these modules somewhere? Maybe like a getting started directory for modules that you can use other than themes? somewhere? I know you can use them for other things, but I’m having trouble figuring out what else to use them for other than themes. When I launch the new website, I’m going to upgrade my static site generator guide because this is so much easier. <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/SSG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SSG</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/staticSite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>staticSite</span></a></p>
