Jekyll paginate: offset offsetting all pages, not just first - jekyll

Question

I've run into an issue when using Jekyll (which uses the Liquid templating language), the plugin jekyll-paginate-v2 and offset.
The problem: I have a featured section on my blog that always shows the most recent post. The other posts appear below, 10 per page using paginate.
I tried to simply show them using {% for post in paginator.posts offset:1 %}, but this is flawed in two ways:
it only shows 9 posts per page instead of 10
it offsets the first post on each page, so that the 1st, 10th, 20th, etc. posts are hidden, which is not what I want
What I'm trying to achieve: a loop that always ignores the post at index 0 and shows everything else as it normally would.
Am I just using offset wrong, or is this a bug in jekyll-paginate-v2?
Right now I've "fixed" it by doing the following, but it's not ideal as the first page only shows 9 posts:
<div class="articles-showcase row post-list">
{% assign featuredpost = site.posts.first %}
{% for post in paginator.posts %}
{% if post == featuredpost %}
{% continue %}
{% else %}
<!-- Article Card -->
<div class="article-detail-box col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-sm-12 card-article-div" data-cat="{{post.category | join: ','}}">
<div class="card card-article box-shadow h-100">
<div class="img-div text-center post-card-header bg-gray">
<img src="{{ site.baseurl }}{{post.image}}" alt="{{post.title}}">
</div>
<div class="card-article-body">
<p class="author-name">{{post.author}} | {{ post.date | date: '%B %d, %Y' }}</p>
<a href="{{site.baseurl}}{{post.url}}">
<h5>{{post.title}}</h5>
</a>
<div class="article-description">{{post.content}}</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</div>

Answer 1

I raised this as an issue to the jekyll-paginate-v2 developers, and it has now been solved: https://github.com/sverrirs/jekyll-paginate-v2/issues/100

Answer 2

As a quick fix you should be able to add a front-matter property to the latest post manually:
---
layout: page
pagination:
enabled: false
---
Otherwise, you either have to exclude the paginator-v2 plugin and write your own logic for pagination or else extend the plugin in your _plugins dir so that the posts data sent to the paginate plugin already excludes the first (actually last because the reverse sorting will be done afterwards.) post.

I've hacked together a flawed solution that I'm using until something better comes along. I'll share it here for now:
<div class="articles-showcase row post-list">
{% if paginator.page == 1 %}
{% for post in site.posts limit:11 %}
{% if post == featuredpost %}
{% continue %}
{% else %}
<!-- Article Card -->
<div class="article-detail-box col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-sm-12 card-article-div" data-cat="{{post.category | join: ','}}">
<div class="card card-article box-shadow h-100">
<div class="img-div text-center post-card-header bg-gray">
<img src="{{ site.baseurl }}{{post.image}}" alt="{{post.title}}">
</div>
<div class="card-article-body">
<p class="author-name">{{post.author}} | {{ post.date | date: '%B %d, %Y' }}</p>
<a href="{{site.baseurl}}{{post.url}}">
<h5>{{post.title}}</h5>
</a>
<div class="article-description">{{post.content}}</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
{% if paginator.page > 1 %}
{% for post in paginator.posts %}
<!-- Article Card -->
<div class="article-detail-box col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-sm-12 card-article-div" data-cat="{{post.category | join: ','}}">
<div class="card card-article box-shadow h-100">
<div class="img-div text-center post-card-header bg-gray">
<img src="{{ site.baseurl }}{{post.image}}" alt="{{post.title}}">
</div>
<div class="card-article-body">
<p class="author-name">{{post.author}} | {{ post.date | date: '%B %d, %Y' }}</p>
<a href="{{site.baseurl}}{{post.url}}">
<h5>{{post.title}}</h5>
</a>
<div class="article-description">{{post.content}}</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
</div>
The main problem with it is the 2nd paginated page shows the last article on the 1st page again. For me that's better than only showing 9 posts on the first page, however. Any better solution would be greatly appreciated!
