This theme is designed for blogging purposes. Feel free to extend it for other use cases though.
At its core, it's minimalistic; it doesn't rely on monolithic libraries such e.g
jquery, bootstrap. Instead, it uses grid css, flexbox & vanilla js to
facilitate the features
outlined below:

For all content published using markdown, deeplinks will be added to the pages so that you can share with precision ๐ Just hover on a heading and the link button will pop. Click it to copy.
Today most operating systems & browsers support dark mode. Like twitter, which automatically turns into dark mode when the user chooses darkmode, this theme does the same thing.
