Ink-Free

Crisp, minimal personal website and blog theme Hugo, designed for a collaborative, open-source, privacy conscious blog.

Forked from knadh with custom adjustments. Originally forked from Ezhil.

Ink-Free vs Hugo-Ink

This repository is a purely local (i.e., no CDNs), simplified version of hugo-ink with several simplifications for the sake of privacy:

• Removed all references to Google’s font-CDN
• Removed Analytics code, even if it was controlled by a variable

As well as some additional features:

• Added a Back button to all posts
• Added a TOC, controlled by a variable, to all posts
• Added a word count, tags, and an approximate read time to the overview
• Added random footer messages
• Added “Edit this on GitHub” button
• Added inlineimg shortcode to render images (e.g. SVGs) in-line
• Added support for ![](image title="title") syntax for image titles
• Random, somewhat humorous messages at the end of each post

And some bugfixes:

• Modified the CSS to
  • Order all tags inline, as opposed to as a list
  • Change the background color for Syntax Highlighting, otherwise we’re looking at grey code on a grey background
  • Added some classes for a Back button

It is also missing some features, which might be added later:

• Dark mode

Content type

You can specify content type with field type in your content. For example static pages can be set as type page which are excluded from recent posts and all posts page. You can use site params mainSections and disableDisqusTypes to control which page types are excluded from recent posts and Disqus comments respectively.

---
title: "About"
date: 2019-04-19T21:37:58+05:30
type: "page"
---

This is some static page where you can write about yourself.

Language Settings for the month

Due to the currently unavailable feature for multilingual dates in .Date from Go. It is possible to create a month.yaml in the data folder of your Hugo site root directoy. There is also an example file in exampleSite/data/.
