Hashtag Strings in Hugo

Last Post: 1 Mar 2023

I did a fun bit of Hugo templating today that seemed worth sharing. I was previously generating my list of hashtags to apply to a social post inside of my Zapier workflow. I’d pull the list of tags then manipulate them into a single string and add the # symbol.

Today I realized that this would be much simpler to do in Hugo as part of my JSON output. It came out like this:

#Technology | #Hugo

Create a Mastodon Integration for Zapier

This site is hosted on GitHub pages using Hugo, mostly because it gives me an excuse to play with very simple CI/CD pipelines and scratch the itch that wishes I was an engineer rather than a product manager. Hugo is nice because it creates the RSS feeds that I love to have and use myself. I have been using that RSS feed to drive automated publishing of new articles to social media through Zapier. The pipeline looks something like this until just recently

#Mastodon | #Zapier | #Hugo
