Sometimes, when you get on the wrong path, it's better to turn around
My experience with Hugo:
- Get one executable file (hugo.exe) and place it somewhere on the path
- Find a theme. This can take some time because there are a lot of them to choose from. If you don't like your pick, no worries you can change it.
- Get your content as markdown files.
I had a site running in about 3 hours and it's not too shabby [^] (pardon my immodesty )

Nah, there's already two sites running on this VM using gatsby. There are scripts to update and deploy. The backend and frontend are already built out. It's better for me to figure out how to move forward with this than to start over, particularly given some of the rather fancy code[^] that lives on that web.

web development - shudder. I agree with you. The last time I did web development was helping my wife with her web clients. Our development IDE was Notepad although we moved up to something else that I cannot remember. I think if you keep the site as simple as possible, you should be able to scrape by with a minimal stack of buzzwords.

The site is already up, so I am dealing with an existing Gatsby codebase.

btw, https://honeythecodewitch.com/uix/wiki/index.md[^] has a bad link at the top (likely cut/paste error). The first gfx link sends you to UIX and not GFX.
Looking forward to give your code a shot. I seem to have some free time to delve back into the embedded world, and their are some projects I'd like to flesh out.

Thanks. I noticed that today. It's one of the site bugs that needs to be fixed.

Oh and hey, since you checked it out, what's your impression of the UIX docs? This one I tried to go code heavy, and yet keep the docs brief. GFX i took a different approach. I'm hoping this works better for people. Thanks!

will let you know. Working an assortment of project issues that just won't die.
I'm looking at 1/2 dozen platforms but delayed by multiple health issues (one of which was me dang near putting my eye out when working in the yard).

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

honey the codewitch wrote: if nothing else so I can help maintain my own website.
One problem I can note with that is how often does it change?
If you learn it now, fix it and the next fix is 2 or even 3 years from now will you remember enough of what you learned now for it to make a difference?
Hypothetically of course you could just set up a goal to change it every couple of months just so you know what is going on when something important does come up.

I have to update it somewhat regularly, as the docs tend to get changed as features get added or I find corrections to make, if nothing else.
Also with my GFX web, it tends to change fairly frequently because I make a lot of feature adds to that project, so the documentation gets updated quite a bit.

I'm writing some examples for using my UIX library.
It's unexpectedly challenging. I've created real world apps using it in less time than this.
The difficult bit is making it not feel too contrived while at the same time making the code simple enough to understand.
It's not writing simple code that's difficult, it's coming up with a simple application, that's nevertheless complicated enough to illustrate core concepts.
It's so much easier when I have a direct purpose to my application, rather than dealing in the meta and writing it for its own sake. It makes me feel rudderless. Like, what is it even supposed to do other than exist?

I am reminded of the early 90s when at least half of the apps available for Windows (3) were screen savers.

Had similar experience, so ended up using mostly real-world cases (names changed to protect the innocent), but they were not optimal. Hard I agree.
