This website is now written in Org Mode

I just moved my website from Hugo to Org mode, after some experimentation with OrgPublish functions I could get what I wanted. While is not perfect, and certainly the performance doesn't match the Hugo's one, I like the way I could get a website without depending on third partiy libraries inside Emacs.

There are two reasons why I stopped using Hugo as an Emacs user, the first one is the unnecessary intermediate processes for my website, Org mode already have all the niceties that you will need to write wathever you want, and then you can export it to html. Before I was using ox-hugo so my org files could be transformed to markdown, there are some support for org mode inside Hugo, but the first citizen still is markdown, if you find yourself writing in org mode, then changing to markdown to finally export the html files, certainly you will want to erase intermediate processes if you could get similar results.

Other reason of why I wanted to stop using Hugo is that it became a slopeware, this is a personal endeavor, but I will reduce my dependency to software that has incorporated AI as much as possible, because I am still quite skeptical about the technology and how it will affect the free software landscape, in a similar way that I would prefer a conservative approach to choose software from Emacs, giving preference to built-in tools, choosing just the org mode functionality satisfied my requirements.

I don't think this blog post require a tutorial, there are already some nice explanations out there that help me to grasp the way of how org publish works, it come to my mind System Crafters, Randy Ridenour blog post and Thomas Ingram. Also there is a honorable mention to Thomas fantastic library to create RSS that is being used for this website.
