I’ve been running a news startup with Hugo. It’s been fine. It’s not a piece of the puzzle I feel any need to replace.

Yes, you can also have a prominent light and dark mode switcher on Hugo.

Yeah, you can. It’s like 4 lines of JavaScript.

And some CSS to control how it looks in both modes (the icon makes it easy to try it out).

It's too bad Chrome inspector isn't convenient on mobile, it has a toggle that would make this no longer very useful for testing out your own site. On desktop it is very easy to switch with Chrome inspector - just for one site.

But if you don't use Next.js with TRPC and TypeScript then you're not cool.

Is there something less complex than Hugo out there?

Building your own SSG is a fun project if you enjoy yak shaving. Then is can be as simple or complex as you want/need it to be.

My poor yak is already bald.
