I used to blog with Hexo several years ago but since I've picked up the org-mode I've almost forgot the markdown syntax.
There are endless debates between org-mode vs markdown. To me the feature set provide by org-mode is just second to none. I use it for GTD, taking notes, logging times. It's just so natural to come across the idea - "Why can't I write my blog using org-mode".
Then I found hugo which natively supports .org format.
Awesome! Hugo it is.
Having the deployment script hooked to pre-commit, now I'm posting from magit!
