Redesign

[pka]

I've changed the Hugo theme to Hextra and adapted it inspired by the Reveal solarized theme.

I hope you like it, @amandasaurus!

Will backport the theme to Hugo 0.111.3.

What's the process for upgrading to a new version of Hextra?

Is there a preview we could see, or at least a screenshot?

[pka]

On small screens, only one column is shown.

I'm maintaining a branch with the backport patches: https://github.com/pka/hextra/tree/backport-debian

Hugo docs recommend including a theme as git submodule. We could do that for simplifying updates. But not anybody likes working with submodules...

A subtree is apparently easier to manage

[pka]

In response to the overwelming enthusiasm, I've cleaned up the commits and added the hextra theme as subtree, to make it ready for merge.

Oops, I just force-pushed accidently to main, will try to cleanup the mess...
It was just the main branch of my fork...

I don't understand why you need to backport a theme. It is just a bunch of CSS files and icons isn't it?

Anyway. Looks okay to me, certainly better than what we had before.

The theme uses built-in Hugo functions (hugo.IsMultiLingual and urls.JoinPath), which are not availabe in 0.111.

My plan was to have this ready for SotM. Does anyone plan a review, or is it ok to merge?

[pka]

I'll have a talk about Shortbread at FOSS4G in a month and would like to show the website in the new look. Would that be a motivation for reviewing and/or merging?

For my taste the condensed font is hard to read and the line-height leaves a lot of white-space. Other than that I am happy with the design. Its okay for me to go with this.

Something gets pulled in from gstatic.com, that should be fixed.

I see your point, but at least it makes Shortbread really short!

Fonts are now included.

Okay for me.
