## ⚡️ Why teams choose HugoBlox

In the age of AI, **Markdown is the new source code**. HugoBlox gives you the speed of modern tooling with the durability of a static stack: **Hugo + Tailwind** (with optional Alpine/Svelte blocks for interactivity).

- **Own your content**: clean Markdown, YAML, and notebooks — portable, readable, and LLM-friendly.

- **Performance without the ops tax**: static output, fast builds, no runtime database.

- **Beautiful by default**: high-quality templates + blocks (and Pro options when you want more).

- **A hybrid workflow**: edit in code, or use a visual editor when you want velocity.

---

## For researchers & labs

- **Lab sites and academic profiles** (people, publications, projects, news)

- **Citable output** with BibTeX/DOI workflows

- **Notebooks + LaTeX** for technical writing that actually renders

## For data scientists & AI engineers

- **Project docs** and technical blogs without heavy JavaScript stacks

- **Notebook-first publishing** (`.ipynb`) for reports, tutorials, and results

- **Knowledge bases** and internal docs that stay searchable and maintainable

## For teams & orgs

- **Consistent sites** across teams with templates + blocks

- **Lower risk upgrades** with clear versioning + migration guidance

- **Support options** when you need fast answers

---

## 🧠 Edit the way you like (code-first, visual when you want it)

- **Code-first**: Markdown/YAML + Hugo templates for full control.

- **Visual editing (Pro)**: **Lore Studio** in VS Code for drag-and-drop blocks, previews, and safer config edits.

- **AI automation (Pro)**: spend less time on formatting, YAML fixes, imports, and maintenance.



  



Lore Studio: Visual editing meets code-first control.
