  • Building OneFlow: Crafting an Effortless Jekyll Theme for One-Pager Websites
    2 projects | dev.to | 17 Feb 2024
    My starting point was the Minimal Mistakes theme. From there, I copied the theme repository and meticulously removed everything I didn't need. This left me with the bare essentials, allowing me to build OneFlow from the ground up, but with some basic styling and features already at hand, which Michael Rose (the creator of Minimal Mistakes) has masterfully created.

    Recently started a personal blog. The plan is to blog about Data Science/Engineering and implementation of modern data solutions in scientific research.

    The blog is hosted on GitHub pages using minimal mistakes theme [0] (which I had to customize a lot to suit my needs [1]).

    Thank you! As for the fonts: I user Jekyll and minimal mistakes for this site, and I just looked it up to verify: By default the theme uses system fonts for all of the font stacks (serif, sans-serif, and monospace). This is done in part to provide a clean base for you to build off of and to improve performance since we aren’t loading any custom webfonts by default. See: here. So it might have to do with the system fonts that you currently have set.

  • Hosting your website 🌐 with Github pages

    Create a repository with GitHub pages with the name: username.github.io. By default without a domain name, your default domain name is username.github.io. I used Beautiful Jekyll theme for building my blogging website. If you have a custom name, Enter your custom domain name in GitHub pages, and enforce HTTPS for our custom domain. Thanks to Lets Encrypt which is providing free SSL/TLS Certificates. This process will create a CNAME record in your repository.
