• 🔮 Future-Proof: Your content lives in simple Markdown. No database to break, no lock-in.
• 🤖 AI-Ready: Optimized for search engines and LLMs, so your work is found and cited.
• ⚡ Zero Maintenance: Auto-import citations from BibTeX and focus on research.
• ✍️ Edit Visually: Use HugoBlox Studio in VS Code — no coding needed. Full capabilities in Pro.

HugoBlox Studio: Drag-and-drop page builder inside VS Code.

"My citations went up 3x after switching to this template. The citation auto-sync feature is a lifesaver." — Dr. Zhang, AI Research Scientist, Meta
