KDE Plasma 6.7 is a Breath of Fresh Air!

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The upcoming Plasma 6.7 is probably one of my most anticipated updates since I started using KDE about a decade ago. I use a Macbook for work, and after some time, I have gotten used to the MacOS work flow and muscle memory is something hard to shake. I don’t remember what it’s called in MacOS, but the KDE equivalent is called Overview and it’s always felt a bit limited in its capabilities…well, that’s a thing of the past now! Plasma 6.7 has brought a much request feature to the desktop after a long, looooong time that makes Overview feel more like the MacOS experience! That feature is the per-monitor virtual desktops!

Embedding NextJS in Hugo

Embedding NextJS in Hugo

This post explains how we integrated NextJS interactive widgets into a Hugo static site.

Architecture

The site uses Hugo as the primary static site generator with the PaperMod theme. NextJS applications are embedded via a custom Hugo shortcode.

The Shortcode

The custom nextjs-app shortcode (layouts/shortcodes/nextjs-app.html) renders an iframe pointing to the NextJS application:

{{- $path := default "/interactive-widget" (.Get "path") -}}
{{- $height := default "400" (.Get "height") -}}

{{- if hugo.IsServer -}}
  <!-- Dev: iframe to localhost:3000 -->
  <iframe src="http://localhost:3000{{ $path }}" ...></iframe>
{{- else -}}
  <!-- Production: serve pre-built static files -->
  <iframe src="/nextjs{{ $path }}/index.html" ...></iframe>
{{- end -}}

Development Workflow

Start Hugo: hugo server (port 1313)
Start NextJS: next dev (port 3000)
Hugo pages with {{< nextjs-app >}} load the NextJS widget via iframe

Production Build

cd nextjs-app && next build       # generates out/
cp -r out ../hugo-site/static/nextjs
cd ../hugo-site && hugo           # final site with embedded widget

Try It Yourself
