Estivo

Overview

Estivo is a unique blogging theme designed for Jekyll, originally created for personal use. It showcases a simple yet effective structure that allows users to easily set up their personal blogs. Although the theme runs on an older version of Jekyll, v.2.5.3, it still offers the flexibility of SASS integration, making it a compelling choice for those looking to customize their blogging experience.

While the code may not be the cleanest and is somewhat hacked together, it maintains an open-source philosophy under the MIT license. This encourages further development and innovation from the community, allowing others to fork and modify it as they see fit.

Features

• SASS Support: Comes with integrated SASS, allowing for easier styling manipulation, although the code essentially behaves like standard CSS.
• Open Source: Released under the MIT license, enabling users to freely use, modify, and distribute the theme.
• Version Compatibility: Designed to work with Jekyll v.2.5.3, providing reliability for users familiar with this version.
• Customization Friendly: While the code is messy, it invites creative developers to tweak and improve upon the existing framework.
• Lack of Official Support: The creator does not provide support or updates, which may appeal to independent developers looking for a project to adapt.
• Community Driven: Encouragement to fork the project allows for collaborative improvements and possibilities for new features.
• Personal Use Origin: Initially crafted for personal blogging needs, adding a sense of authenticity and individuality to the theme.
