Sapper is a framework for building high-performance universal web apps. Read the guide or the introductory blog post to learn more.
It's like Next.js and Nuxt.js, but faster and smaller because it's powered by Svelte.
Hugo is a static site generator written in Go. It is optimized for speed, easy use and configurability. Hugo takes a directory with content and templates and renders them into a full html website.
Hugo makes use of Markdown files with front matter for meta data.
A typical website of moderate size can be rendered in a fraction of a second. A good rule of thumb is that Hugo takes around 1 millisecond for each piece of content.
It is written to work well with any kind of website including blogs, tumbles and docs.
