I built this theme on a whim in August 2016 while home visiting family in Portland.

It ain’t beautiful, but I wanted a theme which would be fairly content-agnostic to make it easier to throw together various project sites. Achieving this kind of neutrality is fairly difficult. Plaintext is super agnostic, which is why I draft pretty much everything in Sublime, but a straight-up plaintext theme like this or this. I stumbled across hack.css a few weeks ago while working on the Hoya Hacks splash page; I think it offers a happy middle ground.

The neutrality of plaintext with the legibility of, uh, formatting.

I hope this is useful! If you already have Jekyll installed (see Welcome to Jekyll!), clone this project github repository:

git clone https://github.com/lukasschwab/hackyll.git

Happy hacking!
