Openwrt.org website with SSG/gohugo

Hi,

I was searching for some hardware a while back and realized that I certainly don't like the web look of openwrt.org and the toh

To extend this, I am really a big fan of gohugo and statically generated page managed through git, so I did a demo of what this could look like and deployed it via gitlab here

Some content is just nonsense, empty or whatever, but some is copied from openwrt web subpages (like the about section).

This was an experiment with vibe coding, most of the things were done by Claude. Some things are not finished, some things need a rewrite, there are layout fixes that need addressing, color selection and so on. One super annoying thing is that there is a brief blink with css and menu layout process that happens during page load. In general, the concept is there.

One thing to mention here: it works well on mobile.

Using alpinejs there is also a toh table with a bit different (limited) filtering, but it works well and performs well.

Has anyone in openwrt thought about moving to SSG (static site generators)?

Has anyone on your side of desk ever thought of marking testdemo site as such?

As much as I like Hugo and use it for my own site, I do not think it appropriate to replace the OpenWrt Wiki, which is editable by community members who either ask for an account, or use their GitHub account. I've yet to see Hugo setup as a robust wiki.

Also, I see no reason to replace the OpenWrt site with a 'dime-a-dozen' product site look.

Maybe it should go full sharepoint in place of non-wibe editing of css

Marked as demo.

Fair enough.

It wasn't meant for wiki replacement, but things that don't change often like about, FAQ and such things.

I use gohugo elsewhere without vibe coding, this was meant only for a demo.

If no interest, no problem.

I will leave it on for roughly a week if someone else wants to take a look, then I turn it off

If you could improve stylesheets of existing wiki....
