A pedantic comment. I think it should be saying "5000 GitHub stars" instead of "5000 Git stars". Similarly, "GitHub Link" instead of "Git Link". Git ≠ GitHub.
The official <a href="https://themes.gohugo.io/" rel="nofollow">https://themes.gohugo.io/</a> appears to already sort using GitHub stars descending by default, isn't limited to just the first 10 themes, actually links to the repo, is a lot more informative at face value...and doesn't have a stupid <i>Load More</i> button that isn't actually a button.
The big thing to notice here: all of the top themes are minimalist. Limited colors, simple layout, just nice spacing and typography.<p>I've spent a lot of time looking for good, professional-looking minimalist themes and the pickings have been slim, regardless of platform. Too many theme designers load up their designs with unnecessary elements.<p>Note to designers: less is more.
I would recommend adding Doks to the list - <a href="https://getdoks.org/" rel="nofollow">https://getdoks.org/</a> Doks is an opensource documentation and blog theme. Looks amazing.<p>Hugo is fun and very extensible. I love that it is a single-file binary that I can download and use without bothering about dependencies.<p>When I moved away from Jekyll, I built a Hugo theme for my blog as my first for-profit hobby project - <a href="https://define.run/lucid-theme/" rel="nofollow">https://define.run/lucid-theme/</a>
It is a pity that so many projects use Github metrics in some form or other, and thus help promote the dominance of this platform and the FOMO barrier to use some other forge.
This is actually my site, the feedback here is great and I will action a number of the things here!<p>- Load more button did work but the web scraping script to grab all the data had failed after retrieving only ~10 sites. So there was no more to load, this is already fixed.<p>- Will change references to "Github stars" etc. to just "Git"<p>- Will add info about what Hugo actually is above the fold!<p>- Will remove the stupid size increase on hover<p>- Academic appears twice, this is actually because the Academic team appears to have 2 different repos and have submitted it to Hugo twice... annoying, but technically correct?<p>Overall I don't love the design if I am being honest.
The academic-theme seems to have a duplicate entry at position 1 and 4 in the list. The academic-theme card at position 1 links to another theme: wowchery-hugo-theme, which has the correct/ corresponding github stars.
I have used Hugo for an internal docs site for a few years until I saw a gem that is <a href="https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/" rel="nofollow">https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/</a><p>Now, even my personal website runs off of mkdocs + material. Such a pleasant software.
The hugo theme I use on my blog gets these warnings from Google. Things such as font is too small for mobile. Can anyone recommend a theme from this list that meets all the checkboxes for a blog and does not have any issues raised by Google?
<a href="https://www.jamstackthemes.dev" rel="nofollow">https://www.jamstackthemes.dev</a> has a similar list of Hugo themes but also has about 800 open source themes for all the other ssgs like Jekyll, Gatsby, Next etc
Why there's is two theme named "academic" with same description and screenshot? Can anyone explain to me. I been wondering quite a while
