    There are a lot of stuff on that list that I don’t understand how it’s “self hosted”

    Hugo for example. It is just an application/framework to generate static websites. I guess you can self host the websites, but…

    It’s like saying notepad.exe is self hosted.

    This was just an example, but I saw several such cases.

      That example makes sense to me, because it’s an alternative to something like hosting a blog on some third party site: generate it statically and host the result somewhere.

        But… Hugo is not a self hosting solution. Hugo just makes html files, it doesn’t host anything.
