I don't know how many of you will find this useful, but screw it. (It's fun to play around in React)

Everything about this theme is free, which is why I didn't put it in the market. It's OpenSource under GPL-3.0

this is my first website I built totally from scratch (which means not copying HTML/CSS from websites which I like. I did use frameworks. Fuck not using those)

It took a painfully long ass time to do. So I know one thing: I'm not going into web dev!

I'm planning on adding alot more small features to make the site easier to use with Jekyll and Navigate.

What do you guys think? I'm open to suggestions and things to improve upon. I think I need to improve upon the light theme a bit. I tried following Material Design Guidelines by Google as much as possible, so, it's a bit wonky to figure out a scheme that works. Ironic since the guidelines are supposed to make it easier.

Single posts are rendered Statically so that they can be found by Google, pages that don't need to be static are dynamic for seemingly 'instant' navigation (from a dynamic page -> dynamic page IE: Home->projects) but if you go from dynamic to static (Home -> A post) it has to load static assets hence the entire page reload

One of the best things about the theme is it works with Jekyll. So you get the ease of use of that whenever you want to add a post/page.


This bitch of a thing took me around 3 weeks to do. I've never used Javascript or React before so i had to learn those first, probably why it took so long.

I'm very happy to get back to C/C++ :O

This is great! I mean like really great, my website is currently running Joomla (shame on me I know). I'm going to entirely delete the crap though. We learned to use Joomla in school but it's so shitty.

I might use this for the blogpart of the website I'm building. Or my entire website, I'll leave some creds to if you didn't do so already in your code.

I might PM you later for some more information about this.

Pretty nice looking. Your menu animation could be a little smoother, but besides that, it looks great.

Heh, Joomla. I used Wordpress when I just started out and I remember it being a total pain to optimize for speed and the CMS is just slow in general. Was really annoying to get anything done. (+screw PHP)

Also if you want to use the blogpart, go for it! It's under GPL-3.0, you can include credit in a README or if you really want in your footer or something

Thanks! Yeah i noticed the animation is a bit choppy sometimes. I'll be looking into fixing it, it's something to do with the source of a library I used and my own source

Very clean looking, would definitely use.

They're both good, I think the white version looks a little bit better. Maybe that's just me.

You're the first person I came across that liked the light version, which is a good thing because it means I didn't totally fuck up the colorschemes

Dunno how I haven't checked this thread out yet. The theme is super responsive, and really fast after the first load, which isn't bad at all. I've never really done anything big with React (partly because I don't feel like screwing with JSX), but this is a prime example of how awesome React projects can get.

And yes, webdev is a giant pain in the ass But you have to admit, it's really rewarding when something like this gets finished. Great job!
