Hello World, the Blog is Finally Live

The first post of the new blog, documenting the setup process and marking a fresh start.

After quite a bit of tinkering, this personal blog based on Hugo + Stack theme is finally live.

Why Hugo

There are plenty of static site generators out there: Hugo, Hexo, Jekyll, Gatsby, and more. I ended up choosing Hugo for simple reasons:

  • Blazing fast: Written in Go, it can generate thousands of pages per second. The build is practically instant.
  • Single binary: Just one executable file, zero deployment dependencies.
  • Rich theme ecosystem: Excellent themes like Stack and PaperMod make blogs both beautiful and practical.

Why the Stack Theme

Stack is a card-style Hugo theme with a very restrained design:

  • Card-style article list on the homepage, with just the right information density
  • Built-in dark/light mode toggle
  • Supports search, archives, and tag clouds—full-featured without bloat
  • Chinese typography friendly, with solid CJK language support

What This Blog Will Cover

There’s no fixed update schedule here, and no pursuit of traffic. I’ll probably write about:

  • Technical learning notes and troubleshooting records
  • Thoughts on tools, productivity, and workflows
  • Occasional life essays and reading reflections

Writing for myself, and for you who happened to stop by.


If you’re also interested in setting up a blog, feel free to reach out. The joy of technology often lies in the tinkering itself.
