I made a mod-hosting website using Hugo last summer for a couple of old sim games called Zoo Tycoon 1 and 2. Its purpose is to archive mods from old forums I used to run as a chronically-online teen back in the day. Just thought it would make a cool portfolio piece while I’m in uni 
Credits:
- Theme design by me (color swatches I picked are an expanded version of Nord)
- GalleriaJS for the image carousals on each mod page
Learning resources that helped:
- Build Websites with Hugo by Brian P. Hogan, which was great as it not only taught me Hugo but I learned how to implement a client-side search index using the following scripts:
- Giraffe Academy on Youtube
Other tech used:
- Cloudflare Pages to serve my HTML/CSS/JS objects
- BunnyCDN for mod file and image delivery
- Discourse for the forum component (ported my theme over to Discourse as well)
It’s my first try at a Hugo website and still lots of things that could be improved since I’m a total beginner at web design, but I’m still actively working on it!
