Background

This project is built with Hugo and uses the Minimal Hugo theme.

Consequently, nearly all design choices were initially made by the theme’s creator.

Naturally, when selecting a theme, you choose the one that best meets your goals. And the Minimal theme was chosen because it is clean and well-written.

But no theme is likely to match your project’s needs in every detail. As Zachary Wade Betz puts it:

We’ve all been there. You’re browsing through the Hugo themes and find one that you really like. It meets all your criteria, except for that one small thing.

And as your project grows and changes, so will the features required of a theme.

So, over time, it becomes desirable to make small changes to tailor a theme more towards the project’s needs.

This post will serve as a central log of the ongoing effort to update the Minimal theme for use on this project.
