Create a static website with Hugo, instead of README.md

[gikari]

u/Xornial created a website mirror of this repo on https://arewelinusyet.com/. As the person says, it's difficult to sync the changes from there to their website.

I suggest merging with the person's project and keeping the content using Hugo-based static website.

Advantages:

• Advanced styling, like in e.g. https://arewewaylandyet.com/
• Possibility to create labels for items, so that they can be filtered (advanced list)
• Minimalistic "go-to" webpage with the quick summary
• Meme (i.e. easy to remember and spread) web page address

Disadvantages:

• Requires a bit of initial work, but the complexity of contributing is not increasing much, as the Hugo operates on Markdown files too.

I got in touch with Xornial, waiting for their response. I've added a link to the sidebar for now.

How did you set up the site? I would like to do something similar for a repo of mine but the Hugo docs don't include anything on porting a GH site to Hugo.

To create Hugo website the following is needed:

• Hugo repository with the content in form of markdown
• Hugo html template to structure the content
• CSS for the templates

We already have the content in the form of readme. The hardest part is creating/finding the template page and decent responsive CSS for it.

Usually, when you create a site in Hugo, you outsource the last two problems to the Hugo Themes creators (Theme = templates + CSS), but in our case there isn't any template I found fitting, so I believe it should be created from scratch.

Or not. I need something that would let me just streight up duplicate the GitHub page. I'm just trying to get around the limitation of not being able to redirect it a a mask. / page on my domain.
