Hi all,
Just wanted to post my new Hugo-built personal website - https://www.leon.land/. The inspiration, and the reason I’m sharing, is two-fold.
- I really liked the look and simplicity of the Hyde theme - https://themes.gohugo.io/hyde/ - but wanted to adapt it for a portfolio/showcase site instead of a blog.
- I wanted to try out populating some content using JSON data because of the type of content I have (mostly links to stuff that I create or like elsewhere).
It has 4 pages. One is a simple “about” page that uses markdown content, another is a contact form built using Netlify’s sweet easy form tool, and there are 2 pages that render lists of URLs based on 3 separate JSON files (the “work” and “fun” pages). I also wrote a simple javascript function to filter the lists based on tags that are embedded inside the data files.
Anyway, I thought it could be interesting to others, since it’s pretty generic and hopefully easy to adapt for other uses. All the code is on GitHub here - https://github.com/balsamiqLeon/leonland. Fork away!
