Today I Learned

A Hugo theme focused on simplicity and readability. Ideal for both traditional blog posts and shorter notes that makes it easy to record and share knowledge that doesn’t need a full blog post. Perfect for quick tips, insights, and discoveries.

Features

Content graph view

Visualize connections between notes and posts like seen in Apps like Obsidian. The content graph provides a web of your knowledge, letting you and your readers explore related notes and see how everything connects.

Side notes

Add side notes that sit neatly alongside your main content. Perfect for extra details, tips, or fun facts without breaking up the flow of your writing.

Admonitions

Highlight important notes, warnings, tips, or anything that deserves special attention with styled callout boxes. Great for keeping readers informed.

Improved JSON-LD data

The theme enhances Hugo’s built-in JSON-LD structured data by adding more detailed metadata, helping search engines better understand your content and making it easier for your posts to appear in relevant search results.

Built-in blocking of generative AI/LLM associated web crawlers

If you’re concerned about your content being used as training data for generative AI and language models, the theme’s robots.txt template allows you to easily block a wide range of genAI and LLM-related web crawlers.

Easy Creative Commons licensing

The theme includes simple options for adding a Creative Commons license to your content, allowing you to define how others can use, share, or adapt your work. You can choose the most appropriate Creative Commons license, and it will automatically appear in the website footer with optional usage icons.
