Working with @GoHugoIO is such a joy. Having worked with #Jekyll in the past, the near instant preview is a big win! Did not expect this to make such a huge difference.

Can't overstate how much I enjoy @GoHugoIO. My site is relatively small, but *18 ms* to build the whole thing made template development and proofing a breeze.

The more I use gohugo.io, the more I really like it. Super intuitive/powerful static site generator...great job @GoHugoIO

Blog migrated from @WordPress to @GoHugoIO, with a little refresh of my theme, Vim shortcuts and a full featured deploy script #gohugo
