Inspiration for new themes

The numbers of Hugo themes is increasing week by week. Over the time I created a list of high quality themes that would be a good fit for the Hugo community.

On of the best way to get familiar a new tool is learning by doing - Hugo is not different. While porting or creating a new theme you’ll learn the concepts and capabilities of Hugo.

I tried to sort the themes in categories based on the use case:

Blog

Chalk

Lagom

Minto

Frisco

Saturn

Sora article

Nest

Story

Magnet Portfolio Template

Documentation

Scribbler

Portfolio

[Howdy](https://pixelbuddha.net/livepreview/

DribbbleFolio

Single Page

Cayman

Crew

Neos

Epic

Render

New age

Agency

Other

@digitalcraftsman I’m almost done with the Story theme and will try to have it uploaded to the theme directory by the end of the weekend.

I appreciate it’s a free theme from freehtml5.co, but the source for the design was pretty shi&^%, so I’m reworking a lot of it, improving the semantics, etc.

I’ve published what I have so far to Netlify.

Here is repo as well.

I’ve also added the following:

I’m open to any other features if anyone has suggestions. Any request from the above list, @bep? LMK. Cheers.

Wow, you’re fast :smiley:

Just open an issue in the hugoThemes repo.

When I’m copying a code block I noticed that your theme also opens an empty modal. They look like the Featherlight modals.

Done. (This also made me realize that I forgot to add my separate Google Analytics partials, which is now good to go, so thanks! :smile:).

Fixed. Done.

Still need to make the terms.html page, but that should be pretty simple. Now I want to break this down into a lot more partials and maybe add some more shortcodes. Thanks for the quick UAT @digitalcraftsman

Inspiration never dies.

Hi,
I have tried for my blog to port a hexo theme cactus-dark to hugo but i never succeeded :confused: (I’m not a dev)

It’s more like a “Request” so i don’t know if it’s the right place … Do you think that i must post a new topic ?
Thank’s

Has anyone tried to port Minimal Mistakes (Jekyll theme) suggested above to Hugo?

Currently using DocDock, which is also great.

That’s a really cool site, @alexandros Thanks for sharing this. I could see it being a really vexing experience for content-heavy sites, but for something like a design agency, this definitely falls into the never-seen-a-site-quite-like-this-before category…

wow, that’s stellar @alexandros. Love the ascii art in the source, from BONG. Love how resizing to mobile works, too. Wow.
