I am currently using Hugo as a static site generator for my blog. It's not bad but rather limited. Does anybody know about something that would be equally as lightweight but offer some more flexibility. I just don't know what is out there so anything you guys could come up with would be appreciated.

What do you find limited about Hugo?

The only limiting factor is really that if I am, say, in a public place that bans SSH access or SFTP access. I am starting to see more of this as deep packet inspection becomes available to the masses now. I could be composing my blog post on my laptop but be unable to otherwise publish it if I am on such a network that combines deep packet inspection with locking down ports.

You could also have your back end pull from a git repo every minute. A cron job could check a GitLab repo for changes and update the site if any changes are found.
