I’ve been looking at extending the ability of my Hugo sites - yes, plural, but more on that later - and the three needs I have are:

  • basic gallery and lightbox
  • search function
  • basic comments

For the first of these I’ve been using PhotoSwipe. It’s not basic for sure, but it’s well supported and there’s a lot of examples online, which counts for a lot.

As it is, here’s a basic few photos from a local Toy Run this month, and also using a basic light box. I’ll be tinkering with this page as a test, so if it looks different tomorrow, that’s why.

(Also, I’ve added reading time and word counts to posts.)
