This repository is a Hugo-based starter template for building an academic CV website, part of the HugoBlox ecosystem. It provides pre-configured project structure, sample content (blog posts, publications, projects, courses, events, slides), and CI/CD workflows for deployment to GitHub Pages or Netlify. The codebase is primarily configuration (Hugo, YAML, Go modules, npm packages) and Markdown content, with minimal custom layout code (a single partial for a GitHub button). Its primary value is as a boilerplate for researchers and academics to quickly spin up a personal portfolio site. While it contains no complex application logic, it demonstrates solid engineering practices through well-structured configuration, modern build tooling (Tailwind CSS v4, Pagefind search), and reusable CI/CD patterns.
This repository is a modern, minimalist portfolio template built with Astro and Tailwind CSS v4. It provides a single-page static site with sections for hero, about, projects, experience, education, and footer, all driven by a centralized configuration file (`src/config.ts`). The architecture is straightforward: Astro components render data from the config, with conditional section visibility based on data presence. The template uses TypeScript for type safety, Tabler Icons for social links, and IBM Plex Mono font. It is designed for easy customization by editing the config file, making it suitable for developers who want a quick, professional portfolio site. The codebase is clean and follows Astro best practices, but it is essentially a boilerplate template with no complex logic or reusable components beyond the template itself. It is not a production application but a static site generator template.
The Kross Hugo theme is a static site generator template designed for creating personal portfolio websites. It provides a complete set of HTML templates, SCSS stylesheets, and JavaScript functionality that transforms Markdown content into responsive, interactive websites using the Hugo static site generator. The theme follows Hugo's conventional directory structure with layouts for templating, assets for styling and scripts, and archetypes for content templates. It integrates modern web technologies including Bootstrap 5 (via Hugo module), Swiper for touch-enabled sliders, Shuffle for filtering and masonry layouts, and custom JavaScript for UI enhancements like sticky navigation, parallax effects, and attribute-driven styling. The theme emphasizes performance with built-in optimization for Google Page Speed scores. While much of the code is theme-specific, the implementation contains several reusable patterns that demonstrate thoughtful frontend development. Notably, the mouseParallax function in assets/js/script.js provides a self-contained implementation of mouse-followed parallax effects that could be extracted and reused in other projects with minimal modification. The theme also showcases good practices in SCSS architecture with modular styling, responsive typography scaling, and reusable mixin patterns. The project shows evidence of ongoing maintenance with compatibility for recent Hugo versions and configuration for modern deployment platforms like Netlify and Vercel. It addresses common requirements for personal websites including contact forms, social media integration, client showcases, and testimonial sliders, making it a practical solution for developers seeking to quickly deploy professional portfolio sites.
