Deploying a static site manually every time can be a boring and error-prone task. If you’re using Hugo, a static site generator, and host your site with a provider like Hostinger, you might be used to generating the site with hugo and dragging the contents of the public/ folder into a file manager or FTP client. Let’s change that. In this guide, I’ll show you how to automate this process using GitHub Actions. Every time you push to your main branch, your site will be automatically built and uploaded to your server via FTP. ...

In a continuation of my earlier post about how watching movies and cartoons in French helps my child improve their language skills, I ran into a problem that many language learners (and movie lovers) eventually face: subtitle desynchronization. 👉 Read the first post here: How French Movies Help My Child Learn the Language The Problem Let’s take a real example — a movie I recently bought sealed for only €2: The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Rise of Electro* (2014), directed by Marc Webb. We really enjoyed the original trilogy with Tobey Maguire, and this reboot felt like a great addition. ...

What is Hugo? Hugo is a static site generator (SSG) written in Go (Golang). It builds websites by compiling Markdown files into static HTML/CSS/JS, making them extremely fast, portable, and easy to host anywhere. It’s widely praised for its speed, flexibility, and simplicity. Hugo is often called one of the fastest SSGs in the world — and it truly lives up to that name. Why Not WordPress? Feature Hugo WordPress Performance Instant page loads ⚡ Depends on server/PHP stack 🐢 Security No backend, fewer threats 🔒 Frequent plugin vulnerabilities ⚠️ Hosting Any static hosting (Netlify, GitHub Pages, etc.) 🌐 Needs PHP/MySQL server ☁️ Simplicity One folder, Markdown, done 📁 Admin panel + database 🧩 Version Control Native Git workflow ✅ Tricky and manual ❌ Learning Curve CLI-based but logical 🧠 GUI-friendly, less control 🎛️ I’ve used WordPress in the past, and while it’s powerful, it’s also heavy, bloated, and requires constant maintenance. Hugo, in contrast, lets me focus purely on writing and structure. ...

The idea for Pidchas came from observing how long-distance shipping delays affect small and mid-size sellers. Many entrepreneurs who import or manufacture products often wait weeks before their items arrive at the warehouse. During this time, they cannot list the products on marketplaces like OLX, Rozetka, Prom, or Allo — which means no visibility, no potential clients, and zero momentum until the goods are physically in stock. What if we could flip that? ...

What Makes a Good Startup Idea Not every idea is worth turning into a product. A strong one usually has: A clear problem — not just something annoying, but something people care enough to solve. An audience — someone specific who will benefit. A way to test — you can quickly validate it without building everything. Relevance to your strengths — something you understand or care about. A sense of inevitability — once shared, it makes people say “of course.” Ideas like these don’t guarantee success, but they give your startup a chance to matter. ...
