- Keep static pages in the content directory, for example: content/about.md
- Keep media like images in the static directory, for example: static/images/2016/10/screenshot.png

Favicons, Browserconfig, Manifest
It is recommended to put your own favicons
- apple-touch-icon.png (180x180)
- favicon-32x32.png (32x32)
- favicon-16x16.png (16x16)

into /static. They’re easily created via https://realfavicongenerator.net/.
Customize browserconfig.xml and site.webmanifest to set theme-color and background-color for example.
Tips
Set production environment when generating site
Because some functions are only in production mode, So you need to add a production environment variables when generating your site.
HUGO_ENV=production hugo --gc --minify
Hugo “extended” Sass/SCSS version required
This theme write style with scss, So you must download and install the “extended” Sass/SCSS version
How to toggle dark-light mode
- You can click the love heart ❤️ in front of your blog title to toggle dark-light mode. I don't think it's a good interaction design. But I don't have a good idea.
- If you want to make your own theme toggle-able element, you can create an element with a class
.theme-switch. See here
Home Post model
If you want to show posts on index instead of a personal profile, just open config.toml in the base of the Hugo site, add the following line to config.toml
[params]
home_mode = "post" # post or other
