This is a good point actually. As others have mentioned, editors like VS Code make working with images in markdown easier. I'm also looking into Obsidian, which I already use on my phone, but it might be too much effort to setup for this purpose.
So I'm warming up to the idea of using a static site generator, just need to figure out a workflow. There is also Zola which is kind of like Hugo but smaller and written in Rust.
