A Hugo theme optimized for publishing personal evergreen notes.
It is forked from Jethro Kuan's Cortex theme, with a number of enhancements to more closely mimic Andy Matuschak's notes site.
Example Site: Little Ocean Star Wars Knowledge Graph
Features:
- Opens new pages in an ever-growing list to maintain context of how you arrived at a page.
- Tracks and displays "backlinks" between pages to allow for related concept exploration.
- Shows preview of content on link hover to get a peek at the content before opening.
- Customizable look-and-feel via configuration to personalize.
- Text search to find interesting starting points into the knowledge graph.
In order for search to work, you must have a /content/search/_index.md file, so that /search is a valid url.
The default theme style matches Andy Matuschak's notes site. You can configure the look and feel of the site using the [params.styles] property in your config.toml.
Here is a basic dark theme that can be tweaked:
