Show HN: Hugoifier – convert any HTML template to a Hugo and Decap setup via AI
github.comI built Hugoifier to solve a problem I kept running into: simple projects have existing HTML templates or want a simple website, but setting up Hugo properly (layouts, partials, hugo.toml, content structure) plus wiring in a git-native CMS takes real time even when you know what you're doing.
Hugoifier automates the full pipeline: 1. Analyze – inspects an HTML theme or existing Hugo theme for structure 2. Hugoify – uses an LLM to convert raw HTML into valid Hugo Go templates (baseof.html, partials, index layouts) 3. Decapify – generates a Decap CMS config.yml auto-tuned to the site's content structure, with whitelabel support
The output is a deployable Hugo site + CMS, ready to push to GitHub and serve from Cloudflare Pages or GitHub Pages.
Why Hugo + Cloudflare: no database, no server, statically compiled HTML served from the edge. Practically unhackable, infinitely scalable, nearly free to host.
Supports Anthropic (default), OpenAI, and Google backends. MIT licensed.
