Sassc 2.2.1 gem install fails on MacOS 11.1

After cloning I'm unable to install sidey on MacOS 11.1 (Big Sur) because fails to install dependency sassc 2.2.1, generating a bunch of c++ compile errors.

I have sassc 3.6.1 installed via homebrew but the older version 2.2.1 will not install. fyi this is a known issue - there are several extensive threads on the GitHub sassc-ruby repo issues section.

Is it possible to run sidey using sassc 3.6.1?

Demo URL Not Working

Going to the Demo URL at https://sidey-jekyll.netlify.com/, It shows this message:

Multiple "posts" pages

Hello,

Thank you for this template, is it possible to have multiple "posts" style pages? I would like to have different kinds of posts viewable by different links.

Thank you!

Unable to install on MacOS 11.1

I've spent several days trying to install this Jekyll repo on MacOS 11.1. So far no success.

bundle install fails at ```fetching sassc 2.2.1`` with the message:

  You can cancel this installation and run:

      bundle install --path vendor/bundle

  to install the gems into ./vendor/bundle/, or you can enter your password
  and install the bundled gems to RubyGems using sudo.

I have Ruby 3.0 and sassc 3.6.1 installed via Homebrew, but the Gemlock lists sassc 2.2.1 as required.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Way to display nested lists with a indent?

Hi! 👋

Is there a way to display nested lists with an indent?

Here is an example:

Or have a look at " - Side notes:" here: https://konradrydzak.github.io/2023/05/11/typing-posts-with-markdown-syntax

I really like the simplicity of first order lists (without indentation), but it would be great if I could indent anything actually nested in them.

Thanks for all your contributions, I am in love with Sidey from the first sight!

search.json is populated with html instead of JSON

I have the same problem as #10.

Building in the root folder via bundle exec jekyll b makes both search.json and atom.xml into html rather than their respective types.

Any suggestions on how to build the files properly?

Thanks.

How to use the Theme and Content separately?

Hi!

Can I separate the theme and content? I'd like to use the content repo as an only posts zone.

Like here

• the theme https://github.com/contributorpw/sidey
• the content repo https://github.com/contributorpw/contributorpw.github.io

Current site doesn't have extra scaffolds only the single page template https://github.contributor.pw/

Add simple rules for definition lists

Example:

CSS rules:

dl {
    margin-top: 24px;
    margin-bottom: 24px;
}

dt {
    font-weight: bold;
}

dd {
    padding-left: 24px;
}

Tag page on gh-page not working but works locally

Thanks for the nice theme.
I have used sidey theme to create a blog at www.mrprajesh.github.io/blog which has base url /blog
The problem is when I am clicking on the tag name at a post (say here) ends up in a 404 error at gh-pages. This works perfectly fine when I tested locally. Can you suggest what could be wrong here?

The source is here

Thanks in advance.

Syntax highlighter

Hi,
Is there anyway to not disable Jekyll's default syntax highlighter Rouge?

PS. Thanks for sidey!

Question about blog post time format

Hello,

First of all, I love Sidey, it is exactly the aesthetic I wanted for my blog. I have very little experience with web development, I was wondering is it possible to change the formatting of the dates on the right hand side from mm-dd-yyyy to yyyy-mm-dd. I would like for my blog timestamps to follow the ISO 8601 format.

Safari Reader mode includes navigation

Safari Reader mode includes site-wide navigation links.

Normal:

Reader mode:

For some reason, this seems to be associated with the number of items in the nav. The more permanent fix is to move the navigation partial outside <main role="main"> which requires a few CSS tweaks.

listen-3.2.1 requires downgraded version of ruby

Hi,

I want to run the template on my local computer but there's a conflict with listen-3.2.1 gem with my current ruby version. I ran bundle exec jekyll build and ran into this issue. Any way to solve it without having to downgrade Ruby?

Minh.

How to incorporate SEO, Twitter Cards, FB Open Graph, etc.

@ronv -- thanks so much for providing this template. I have a few questions about how to use it.

Which files must I modify to incorporate Twitter Cards / FB og into my posts and pages? What must I do to make SEO be better?

Thanks!

tag page 404

post lists create a white space between the nav and the content.

//html

`

{% for post in site.posts %}
• {{ post.title }} {{ post.date | date: "%m-%d-%Y" }}
{% endfor %}

`

// css

.posts li {
align-items:left;
display: flex;
justify-content:space-between;
margin: .5rem;
margin-left: -0.6rem;
}

Posts not linking with file extension.

Hi forgive me because I'm kind of a noob.

When I use the local development server I can access my posts like this.
/2020/06/29/blogpostname

But on the live server it tries link to that same post and 404's.
I can still access the post but I have to add .html to it like this.
/2020/06/29/blogpostname.html

Any idea how I fix this?

Search not working [Netlify]

Ideally, this should be a json file but for some reason, it's not generating properly.

Edit 01 - So, the .json object is inside the html element if you look closely at the bottom part. On local build too, this is the same; not just Netlify. Please help.
