Blowdit

A clean, minimal theme for Bludit inspired by the Blowfish Hugo theme.

Features

🌗 Light / dark mode toggle — remembers the visitor's choice and falls back to the OS preference.
🧱 Monochrome design — restrained grayscale palette with crisp typography (Inter).
👤 Profile hero — circular avatar, site title, slogan and social links on the homepage.
📚 Right sidebar — drop any Bludit sidebar plugin into it (categories, tags, search…).
⏱️ Reading time & dates shown on the post list and single posts.
🔗 Social icons in the navbar and hero, using SVG files in img/ (GitHub, Mastodon, Bluesky, LinkedIn, and more).
🏷️ Tags & categories rendered as pill badges.
📱 Fully responsive, no flash of the wrong theme on load.

Installation

Download or clone this repository into your Bludit bl-themes directory:
```
bl-themes/blowdit/
```
In the Bludit admin panel go to Settings → Themes and activate Blowdit.
Add your assets to blowdit/img/:
- The social-network SVG icons (github.svg, mastodon.svg, …) named after each Bludit social-network key.
- Your avatar as spleenftw.jpeg — used for the homepage profile hero and the favicon. To use a different filename, change it in php/head.php (favicon) and php/home.php ($profileImage).

Dark mode

The colour scheme is driven by CSS custom properties. Light mode lives in :root; dark mode overrides them under [data-theme="dark"]. The attribute is set on <html> before paint (in php/head.php) to avoid a flash, and the toggle button in the navbar persists the choice to localStorage.

To tweak the palette, edit the variables at the top of css/style.css.
