The project first author is a backend programmer mainly using Java and Python. He has worked on backend, middleware, and big data development. He likes to write small tools, so he taught himself some frontend knowledge.
The original intention of this project was to create a simple GUI wrapper for Hugo for a friend who is new to the field, allowing him to use Hugo to create his own blog.
There have been many explorations in the early stages of the project, resulting in multiple implementations of Swallow. Interested parties can follow the different implementations of Swallow for learning and discussion.
