What is the most popular Hugo search tool?

I asked ChatGPT “What is the most popular Hugo search tool?” and the answer given was Lunr.js

Here’s the full response:

The most popular search tool for Hugo websites is Lunr.js. It’s a powerful, client-side search engine that is often used with Hugo because of its flexibility, ease of integration, and performance. Lunr.js is a JavaScript-based search library that allows you to implement fast, full-text search capabilities directly in the browser without needing a backend server.

Can I get some feedback?

I asked ChatGPT for suggestions on how to implement comments on a Hugo static website hosted on GitHub Pages. This led me to implementing Utterances. Can I get some feedback? Let’s hope so!

      <div id="comments">
        <h2>Comments</h2>
        <script src="https://utteranc.es/client.js"
                repo="spr12ian/spr12ian.github.io"
                issue-term="pathname"
                theme="preferred-color-scheme"
                crossorigin="anonymous"
                async>
        </script>
      </div>

I upgraded my Github Actions workflow to use the latest version of Hugo

As usual my ’to do’ list is too long. My desk is a mess and needs to be tidied/cleaned. I should be doing that rather than typing this.

Adding to my list today:

I’d like to somehow have separate repositories for my Hugo blog and my Hugo setup. I want to be able to have the Hugo setup as a public repository that you, dear reader, can see exactly how it is. I want the actual blog source to be private so that you don’t see the draft posts which I don’t want to be published to the public, that’s you again, at least not yet! As far as I can see acheiving this will require a private repository.

My husband 👬 says I buy too many gadgets which are a waste of money. He also complains that I give away too many of them.

When I buy a newer version of something and can’t find a use for the older one then I usually use FreeCycle to dispose of the older one.

Hugo

Let’s Encrypt is a Hugo site!!!

Today I moan about my Amazon/Aqara disappointment on the Facebook HA UK group, and ask the group what they think I should do.

Hugo

Until now, I was struggling to work out how the home page of the Ananke theme example site displayed the ‘Articles’ link at the top of the page. Adding this line to hugo.toml made a really useful difference:

sectionPagesMenu = 'main'

Thanks to Harry Cresswell for the help.

How do I ‘hugo new’ remotely, to create new posts?

Git Tower Hugo Context Example

When I bought this Samsung Chronos 7 laptop it had Windows¹ installed. It always had a problem with overheating and it was very slow to boot up, but when the battery life dwindled so much that I always have it plugged in then I eventually decided enough was enough. I took a risk and installed Google’s Chrome OS Flex. This OS goes from strength to strength and I couldn’t be more pleased that I decided to install it.

Aqara

I ordered a few items during Amazon Prime Day.

1. Aqara Smart Radiator Thermostat E1 x 2
2. Aqara Smart Hub E1
3. Aqara Motion Sensor P1

Only the radiator valves were delivered by Amazon but not the hub or the motion sensor although their website and app say it was all delivered. The valves don’t work without the hub, so I’ll be sending them back because I’d rather not pay full price for the hub and sensor which is what Amazon suggested. Very disappointing.

What inspired this blog?

I’ve been a computer programmer for most of my life¹. I’m a fan of Stack Overflow as a great place to ask questions about any problems I bump into while developing code. Recently I’ve been working on Google Apps Script and I noticed one name that often gave me good answers to my question was Tanaike; his page on Medium listed some other scripts that I thought were quite interesting. I liked the look of his about Tanaike web page which prompted me to look behind the scenes on that page. The page was generated by Hugo, and the Hugo theme being used appears to be Blackburn, created by Yoshiharu Yamashita. I had a play with the instructions on the Hugo quickstart page and I quite like how fast it is, even on my dated hardware. The missing detail about the layouts setup took me a little while to work around.
