# IDEA LAB – Hugo Blog

<a href="https://gohugo.io/"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gohugoio/gohugoioTheme/master/static/images/hugo-logo-wide.svg?sanitize=true" alt="Hugo" width="565"></a>
A modern, minimal, and customizable blog built with [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/). This project is set up for rapid content publishing and easy design customization, inspired by clean, interactive web aesthetics.

A fast and flexible static site generator built with love by [bep], [spf13], and [friends] in [Go].
## Features
- **No external theme**: All templates and styles are custom, found in the `layouts` and `static` folders.
- **Modern, bold homepage**: Custom hero headline with interactive elements (CSS-based, easily swappable for 3D/SVG).
- **Pagination**: Configurable via `hugo.toml`.
- **Easy content management**: Write posts in Markdown under `content/posts/`.
- **Custom Fonts**: Uses Satoshi and Unbounded for a unique, modern look.

## Overview

Hugo is a [static site generator] written in [Go], optimized for speed and designed for flexibility. With its advanced templating system and fast asset pipelines, Hugo renders a complete site in seconds, often less.

Due to its flexible framework, multilingual support, and powerful taxonomy system, Hugo is widely used to create:

- Corporate, government, nonprofit, education, news, event, and project sites
- Documentation sites
- Image portfolios
- Landing pages
- Business, professional, and personal blogs
- Resumes and CVs

Use Hugo's embedded web server during development to instantly see changes to content, structure, behavior, and presentation. Then deploy the site to your host, or push changes to your Git provider for automated builds and deployment.

Hugo's fast asset pipelines include:

- Image processing &ndash; Convert, resize, crop, rotate, adjust colors, apply filters, overlay text and images, and extract EXIF data
- JavaScript bundling &ndash; Transpile TypeScript and JSX to JavaScript, bundle, tree shake, minify, create source maps, and perform SRI hashing.
- Sass processing &ndash; Transpile Sass to CSS, bundle, tree shake, minify, create source maps, perform SRI hashing, and integrate with PostCSS
- Tailwind CSS processing &ndash; Compile Tailwind CSS utility classes into standard CSS, bundle, tree shake, optimize, minify, perform SRI hashing, and integrate with PostCSS

And with [Hugo Modules], you can share content, assets, data, translations, themes, templates, and configuration with other projects via public or private Git repositories.

See the [features] section of the documentation for a comprehensive summary of Hugo's capabilities.

- Standard edition: Go 1.23.0 or later
- Extended edition: Go 1.23.0 or later, and GCC
- Extended/deploy edition: Go 1.23.0 or later, and GCC
## Quick Start

Build the standard edition:
### 1. Prerequisites
- [Install Hugo](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/install/) (e.g. `brew install hugo` on macOS)

```text
go install github.com/gohugoio/hugo@latest
### 2. Clone or Copy This Project
```

Build the extended edition:

```text
CGO_ENABLED=1 go install -tags extended github.com/gohugoio/hugo@latest
git clone <your-repo-url>
cd blog.nischalskanda.tech
```

Build the extended/deploy edition:
### 3. Run the Development Server

```text
CGO_ENABLED=1 go install -tags extended,withdeploy github.com/gohugoio/hugo@latest
**Option 1: Use the development script (Recommended)**
```bash
./dev.sh
```

## Star History

[![Star History Chart](https://api.star-history.com/svg?repos=gohugoio/hugo&type=Timeline)](https://star-history.com/#gohugoio/hugo&Timeline)

## Documentation

Hugo's [documentation] includes installation instructions, a quick start guide, conceptual explanations, reference information, and examples.

Please submit documentation issues and pull requests to the [documentation repository].

## Support

Please **do not use the issue queue** for questions or troubleshooting. Unless you are certain that your issue is a software defect, use the [forum].

Hugo’s [forum] is an active community of users and developers who answer questions, share knowledge, and provide examples. A quick search of over 20,000 topics will often answer your question. Please be sure to read about [requesting help] before asking your first question.

## Contributing

You can contribute to the Hugo project by:

- Answering questions on the [forum]
- Improving the [documentation]
- Monitoring the [issue queue]
- Creating or improving [themes]
- Squashing [bugs]
**Option 2: Manual command**
```bash
hugo server --buildDrafts --buildFuture --baseURL="http://localhost:1313"
```

Please submit documentation issues and pull requests to the [documentation repository].
Visit [http://localhost:1313](http://localhost:1313) in your browser.

If you have an idea for an enhancement or new feature, create a new topic on the [forum] in the "Feature" category. This will help you to:
**Note:** The development script ensures all links point to localhost instead of the production URL for proper local development and navigation.

- Determine if the capability already exists
- Measure interest
- Refine the concept
### 4. Add Your First Post
```
hugo new posts/my-second-post.md
```
Edit the new file in `content/posts/` and set `draft: false` to publish.

If there is sufficient interest, [create a proposal]. Do not submit a pull request until the project lead accepts the proposal.
## Configuration

For a complete guide to contributing to Hugo, see the [Contribution Guide](CONTRIBUTING.md).
Edit `hugo.toml` to change site settings:
```toml
baseURL = "https://blog.nischalskanda.tech/"
languageCode = "en-us"
title = "IDEA LAB"

## Dependencies
[pagination]
pagerSize = 5

Hugo stands on the shoulders of great open source libraries. Run `hugo env --logLevel info` to display a list of dependencies.
[params]
description = "A space for ideas, design, and technology."
```

<details>
<summary>See current dependencies</summary>
## Customization
- **Homepage Headline**: Edit `layouts/_default/list.html` for the hero section.
- **Navigation**: Change links in `layouts/_default/baseof.html`.
- **Styles**: Tweak `assets/css/style.css` for colors, fonts, and layout.
- **Fonts**: Satoshi and Unbounded fonts are loaded in `baseof.html` and defined via `@font-face` in CSS.
- **Interactive Elements**: The `.interactive-o` and `.interactive-arrow` spans in the hero headline are styled with CSS. Replace with SVG or 3D embeds as desired.

## Directory Details
- `archetypes/default.md`: Template for new posts (auto-filled front matter).
- `content/posts/`: Your blog posts in Markdown.
- `layouts/_default/`: Main HTML templates (base, list, single).
- `assets/css/style.css`: All custom styles.
- `hugo.toml`: Site config.

## Deployment
1. Build the static site for production:
```bash
./build.sh
```
Or manually:
```bash
hugo --cleanDestinationDir --minify
```

2. (Optional) Verify URLs are correct:
```bash
./verify-urls.sh
```

3. Deploy the `public/` directory to your static host (Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages, etc).

**Important:** Always use the build script or manual `hugo` command for production builds. Never deploy files generated with the development server as they contain localhost URLs.

## Development vs Production Workflow

### For Local Development
- Use: `./dev.sh` or `hugo server --baseURL="http://localhost:1313"`
- Result: All links point to localhost for local testing
- Files: Development files in memory (not for deployment)

### For Production Deployment
- Use: `./build.sh` or `hugo --cleanDestinationDir --minify`
- Result: All links point to production domain
- Files: Production-ready files in `./public/` directory

## Troubleshooting
- If you see errors about `paginate` or themes, ensure your `hugo.toml` matches the config above and does **not** include a `theme` line.
- If you want to use a theme, set `theme = "your-theme-name"` and add it to the `themes/` directory.
