Hugo is a simple static site generator. These pages are mainly about documentation and thus, are rather static in nature. Using a static site generator instead of a single page application, allows for better SEO, editing experience and results in a plethora of features, like RSS feeds out of the box.

This pull request ports the huntsearch.org homepage to Hugo. Hugo is a popular static site generator, written in Go.
Why a static site generator?
There are several reasons for choosing a static site generator, instead of a SPA framework like Angular, especially for documentation:
Why Hugo?
There are other choices, like AsciiDoc, which has started to become popular for writing documentation, or Hakyll, which is a static site generator, written in Haskell. Ultimately, I just know Hugo and didn't want to fiddle around with compilation rules or port all files from Markdown to AsciiDoc.
Furthermore, the design should be sufficiently simple, that a little bit of custom CSS does the job.
Todos
There are several things still in progress, to get this to a usable state.
