Overview

The Fiber theme is a Hugo theme designed for minimalists. It prioritizes fast loading times by using minimal JavaScript and CSS. It also offers a clean UI and is easy on the eyes.

Features

  • SEO Ready: The theme is equipped with basic SEO features and includes minimal JSON-LD data from Schema.org.
  • Shortcodes: In addition to the built-in shortcodes, Fiber includes several other useful shortcodes that can come in handy.
  • ASCIINema: The theme allows you to embed an AsciiNema Cast using the provided shortcode.
  • Can I Use: This shortcode displays the latest data from the caniuse.com website, which can be useful for web developers.
  • Click to Copy Code: Visitors to the website can easily copy the content of any code block with just one click, without affecting code indentation.
  • Beautiful Notes: The theme provides rough annotations for anything you put inside the content/notes directory, making it easier to recognize important information. Annotations are controlled using tags like strong, em, and strikethrough.
  • Screenshots: Fiber supports adding screenshots to your site.
  • Theme Set-up: The theme offers flexibility in setting up the homepage and listing content from custom directories.

  3. Initialize a git repository: git init.
  4. Add the Fiber theme as a git submodule: git submodule add git@github.com:abdus/hugo-theme-fiber.git themes/hugo-theme-fiber.
  5. Start the Hugo server locally by running hugo serve.
