I’ve always coveted the super-minimalist theme of yinwang.org1 - it looks like some kind of advanced archive. After finding and trying the related Hexo theme mickeyouyou/yinwang2, I wasn’t satisfied (mainly with the font, layout, and code highlighting).
Hexo users basically all know the NexT theme - powerful customization features, easy to find suitable layouts, fonts, highlighting, third-party plugins. But unfortunately too many people use it, and it feels a bit heavy.
While searching for vim termdebug issues, I accidentally discovered https://fzheng.me’s blog. Its minimalist approach and beautiful fonts made me want to try the related theme. I checked the related source code on GitHub - it’s a Jekyll template. I spent some time converting it to a hexo template, and during the conversion, I ported over a few extension features I was comfortable with from the NexT theme (since there are only three page templates, the workload was small).
The ported features are:
- Disqus comments. I modified it - if you choose lazyload, it’s not triggered by scrolling, but by clicking a button (forgive me for not knowing how to do button hover effects)
- Baidu / Google / Bing website verification and analytics features
- Social network buttons
- Website license
- Custom website footer
