I am trying to find a good theme for my project’s website. I will be publishing technical docs and API docs, as well as some overview pages. I have evaluated two themes, both having some kind of essential problems:
- Doks – This is a really beautiful theme, but usage and customisation is close to inacceptable (content and theme is mixed, a site is created by forking the theme and modifying content in it…)
- Docsy – Technically good (used as a Hugo module, and content fully separated from the theme), but it insists on loading tons of external resources from hard-coded CDNs, so it cannot be used without forking it and replacing the sources
I am looking for a clean theme that:
- Can be based upon by using it either as a submodule or as a Hugo module
- Can be used while keeping only the content of my site in my repository, not copies of the theme or parts of it
- Is fully self-contained, without external resources from privacy-unfriendly CDNs
- Has a beautiful landing page as well as layouts for neatly structured docs and blogs
Maybe someone can help me find such a theme, or provide hints on how to solve the above problems?
