1.1 KiB
I replaced Hugo with Cobalt on Bit Cannon. Hugo is great, I had no complaints, but as mentioned in my last post I want to make use of Rust tools where reasonably possible, to help them and Rust itself gain traction.
The conversion was relatively straight forward. I wrote a little Ruby script (hugo2cobalt) to convert the front matter from TOML to YAML and ensure the dates were in the right format. I ported the "theme" to Liquid. Cobalt doesn't have any support for pagination at the moment, so that didn't make the cut, which is fine with the number of posts I have. Tag support is limited but I've only used one tag on the site so far, so it was easy to manually add a tag page for, '#wesonlinux'. I was able to preserve the same URL structure for all pages, so that was easy.
Cobalt supports JSON Feed, so I enabled that.
