I played a bit with 11ty today and came to the conclusion to stay with Hugo for now. Much of what Hugo brings with it (multilingual websites, taxonomies etc.) has to be done manually. Sure, 11ty is much more flexible and everything is somehow possible, but somehow it’s too much effort for me (at least for the moment). I have a working Hugo site and it would be best to stick with it for now and start thinking more about things I can blog about instead of just the site itself. And I should also focus on my studies…

Or maybe I should build my own static site generator? 😂

Inspired by Henrique Dias and his “Watches” page, I added such a site to my website too. I’m not using a tracking service to collect the data though, but write down everything manually. Although doing it automagically is pretty cool. I just try to keep things under my own control and don’t want to start to depend on yet another service.

For entries I try to link to The Movie Database, a more open alternative to Amazon’s IMDb. When shows or movies are note available there, I’ll link to the streaming platform’s detail page or another adequate website.

I watch a lot more movies and shows lately and so I want to keep track of it.
