I don’t understand why we create so many copies of pictures. The website is getting heavier, it is not helping. (so far I see each picture gets two thumbnail copies and two large copies (called “full”) and the original file is kept unchanged for display)
I cannot put videoclips so far I see. I don’t wish for videoclips to be processed/reduced/resized.
Can I do something to make it better ? (Yes I wish I could make my own template, but it is actually way other my abilities. Or so I think.)
I found that it takes a lot of effort for someone to create a well-featured theme and keep all documentation updated. On the other hand, if you are reasonably handy with HTML/CSS/JS, it is not hard to create your own.
However, productized software development is time-consuming, and I do not have time to maintain it properly, address someone else’s issues, pull requests, etc.
The theme is not clean enough, and the documentation is outdated enough. So, in good conscience, I can not post it as a “product” for others. Feel free to pluck thoughts or snippets (or the whole thing if it miraculously suits you) for your use case or to integrate into someone else’s theme.
I suspect many of the themes you find will be in a similar half-baked state regarding one’s specific needs. There is a good reason this stuff is open-source. Take it, improve it, and if an author wants the enhancements, they will take them.
