I’m wondering if a website like this: [image] We recut all 10 hours of ‘Westworld’ into a single, chronological timeline Our madness is your gain. could be done in Hugo? Also check out the main homepage of that site. Pretty incredible design work.

I would say that if you get that designer to work for you, you could do just about anything. As to the Hugo part, my guess is that yes, this should be doable. But the design part needs some real chops.

[image] gaetawoo: I’m wondering if a website like this could be done in Hugo? Short answer. Yes. Longer answer. You can do this and even better. But it will take a bit of time and quite a bit of CSS/ JS. Basically you will need a custom framework for this. The ready made frameworks can limit…

Way beyond my imagination, but it’s good to know that content-wise, there’s nothing that’s not hugo compatible. as for infinite scrolling, and many other great JS features, check out th…

But… wait a sec. , or what am i missing, if we are talking about the ‘infiniteScroll’ UX , this above mentioned impressive website, is not showing it anymore or am i missing somehting ? I mean… you need to press the ‘Read More’ button at the end of the page… as from my experience
