I Turned My Website into a Jekyll Theme

My previous website was causing complications every time I needed to make graphical modifications, as there was a lot of repeated code, many duplicated pages due to Polyglot, and features I wanted to renew. So I started by creating a Jekyll theme based on my website. I also wanted to contribute to the community, so I hope this theme will be useful to others.

Awesome-jekyll-theme

This is a theme that includes a clean and minimalist design, with versatile layout options and consistent navigation. It’s responsive, adapting well to different devices, and organizes blog content by categories for better site structure.

Just like my website, I built it with TailwindCSS, so some of the code was copy-pasting, but other parts were not. The idea was always to create a theme that supports multiple languages, so I built it with Polyglot in mind. However, it’s not a requirement to use that functionality. It includes templates for Home, Blog, Post, Projects, and customizable Navbar and Footer.

There is still work to be done. I would like to further document the use of the templates, add some microinteractions to make it more dynamic, intuitive, and fun, and provide full support for a dark mode.

I hope someone enjoys it as much as I enjoyed creating it!
