I'm going to slowly chip away at the next version of the theme. These are just ideas I have at the moment in no particular order. If anyone using the theme has any feedback let me know.

  • Take care of all existing issues
  • Improve styling and responsiveness in a few spots that need work. I might make the markdown content text a bit lighter. It's a little harsh on the eyes at the moment and there's not enough contrast between headings and paragraph text.
  • Remove UA option due to upcoming deprecation by Google
  • Figure out how to incorporate Hugo modules
  • It would be nice to have a way to customize the homepage with shortcodes. For example, having shortcodes for posts and projects with customizable filters. And the ability to arrange them in any order as desired.
  • Ability to disable projects and customize section names of posts and projects without breaking other features
  • Pinning featured posts on homepage (I've wanted the ability to do this for awhile)
  • I'm also thinking of adding a content callout shortcode for blog posts. Very similar style to blockquotes but for emphasized content.
  • CDN/remote support for image assets
  • Dedicated post archive page (by year most likely)
  • Allow project single pages to (optionally) act more like case studies (list client name, objectives, outcomes, etc.)
  • PhotoSwipe image galleries for projects
  • Terms and privacy policy page examples
  • More social link/share icons
  • CloudCannon (or other maintained CMS) integration. NetlifyCMS is being resurrected as Decap CMS so I might add it back with example config.
  • Make more customizations available in general. Basically allow you to change any piece of content in the theme
  • Site search integration
  • More structured data types
  • Translations
