Developer-Journals
Launch developer journal as a Hugo site
Summary
Converted the centralized developer journal into a responsive Hugo site with project and tag archives, RSS output, normalized entry metadata, clean production builds, and compatibility with the Hugo version used by Cloudflare Pages.
Decisions
- Keep the site deployment-agnostic and store generated journal entries under Hugo’s content directory
- Use custom Hugo layouts and local styling instead of adding an external theme dependency
- Use the backward-compatible Language.Lang template field for hosted builds
Learnings
- Hugo uses taxonomy.html for individual tag result pages and terms.html for the tag index
- Hosted build environments should pin the Hugo version or avoid APIs unavailable in older releases
