If you want to publish your site with a ready made template or you want to create your Hugo website from scratch. Quiqr has everything you need to get you started.

Interesting. I’m a little surprised they went with Electron instead of a Go portable GUI toolkit like Fyne or something. Electron is a safe choice, but it seems odd to take such a big dependency when you’re doing stuff like reimplementing Git

https://github.com/quiqr/embgit

We forked Quiqr from Hokus CMS which is build with Electron. After we reach 1.0, we might do a plan a rewrite to another cross platform framework. A Go framework would be a logical choice.

https://www.hokuscms.com

Why? I only see a tiny note on this in the About page. What motivated the fork and how different are the two from each other?

As a guess, the last commit to hokus is 3 years ago.

The fork took place years ago. HokusCMS is not actively maintained.

Quiqr since added:

- embedded git client for cloning and publishing

- many more CMS field types

- importing Hugo themes

- importing Quiqr site templates

- and much more...

Looks interesting

A demo video and a sample hello world website template would be a good start to help us understand its features.

Thanks! A intro video can be shown here: https://quiqr.org/blog/hugo_conf_2022/

And when you download Quiqr you can install working site templates. https://quiqr.org/images/paragraph/template-gallery.png

Looks worth a look, but am getting "no such bucket" from the download links.

My mistake - the links in the book are broken, but the site links take us to GitHub and all is well there.

thanks for noticing. Will fix this right away.

Fair warning: This will rm -rf the project directory you point it to. Careful to not point it to ~/Desktop or ~/Documents ... ):

Quite dangerous, but I think the idea itself has merit.

rm -rf = unknown behaviour. If you know more please give more precise info so it can be fixed.

What is it? A frontend to hugo? You should invest time in your landing page

You could say it's a front-end. Quiqr is a CMS & CMS Builder for Hugo sites. It also enables publishing to git with the built in git client.

Thanks for the advise. Will try to improve the landing page.
