It's coming —?live reloading via resources.GetRemote!
We're being promised something pretty cool in the next version of Hugo — check out the example video at Hugo's new Twitter account and see those remote resources pop in!
I don't usually use emojis in this newsletter, but I think that news deserves a ??.
Also, because it's fun, here's a video recap of the highlights in today's newsletter. Arguably this should be a lot shorter, given our stellar build times, but there's a lot going on in Hugo land...
In case you missed it, the talk topics at the recent 11tyConf were pretty great, and they were, I think, notable for their relevance to all frontend devs, quite aside from any SSG camps to which we may belong.
They were widely spread across web performance, CSS, type systems, the creative freedom that SSGs enable, web components, scaling static sites, and how to manage light and dark mode — for more, see the conference playlist on YouTube.

Since my last newsletter, we've reached version 0.126.1 of Hugo. This version encompasses three major new features:
David Large
If you've ever wanted to share layouts or editing components between multiple sites — or to syndicate content between your Hugo sites — check out CloudCannon's Site Mounting feature and the static API generator Flatlake (brought to you by Liam Bigelow, creator of Pagefind). Liam and I also co-wrote a more in-depth article on how to connect multiple sites as well, if you'd like a little more context.
Nicolas Martignoni
A?Hugo theme component providing a shortcode: notice to display nice notices, and supporting dark mode. Complete with localization in 18 languages!
Maho Pacheco
The title says it all, really — and it's worth pointing out that everything here fits within Azure's free tier. Try out Maho's template here.?
Bryan Klein
I suspect we'll see developments on this approach after the Content Adapters feature, but it's great to see the interoperability of CSV data populating a table element in a Hugo page. Thanks Bryan!

Matt Cone
A book about creating and publishing static websites using HTML, CSS, and Hugo. It’s still a work in progress, but the completed chapters and code examples are all available under CC and MIT licenses, respectively. (Side note: Matt also wrote The Markdown Guide, which is also a fantastic resource.)
Joe Mooring
In a Hugo Discourse thread, Joe shares an example site and some amazing performance (build time) stats, approaching 0.0005 seconds per page, scaling linearly.?
Vikram Aruchamy
I'm a little late in sharing this one, but I like Vikram's solution here — collaborative editing rich text in Google Docs, reducing network egress costs, and running sites with GitHub Pages' free limit.
Marcio Toledo
Marcio built Duorama.io with what I'd call an artisanal approach to development — HTML and CSS from scratch (no frameworks), using Hugo with no theme, and a minimum of JavaScript (though there's a dash of AlpineJS and a ParticleJS library for the hero animation).?
A MESSAGE FROM OUR SPONSOR
CloudCannon's Git-based CMS has everything you need for content management — with collaborative editing and full support for Hugo shortcodes under CloudCannon's 'Snippets' feature, your team can build new pages, edit them visually with live preview URLs, and host the best performing sites on the web.?
Until next time...
Happy coding, and feel free to pass this newsletter on to friends or colleagues who might be interested.
Also, let me know what you're building (or planning) with Hugo's new Content Adapter feature — I'd love to see your work!
