## What it is
HugoBlox is an open-source (MIT) page-building framework for Hugo that lets users compose sites from structured Markdown and reusable Tailwind-style blocks, with optional AI-assisted page generation. It ships production-ready templates for academic CVs, portfolios, blogs, docs, landing pages, and more, deployable to GitHub Pages, Netlify, or Vercel.

## Use cases
- build an academic CV site with publications from BibTeX and ORCID
- create a developer portfolio website
- launch a SaaS landing page
- publish a technical blog with Jupyter notebook support
- generate documentation for an open-source library
- make a personal website I own as Markdown files
- deploy a static site to GitHub Pages or Netlify
- write presentation slides in Markdown

## When to choose
- you want a fast static Hugo site with no database or vendor lock-in
- you need an academic/research site syncing publications from ORCID, OpenAlex, Zotero, or BibTeX
- you prefer owning content as plain Markdown in a git repo
- you want free MIT-licensed templates deployable in minutes

## When to avoid
- you need dynamic server-side features, user accounts, or a CMS database
- you want a fully visual drag-and-drop builder without touching Markdown or Hugo
- your team has no appetite for learning Hugo's templating model
