Blowfish — the Hugo theme this site runs on.
Why it made the list:
- Sensible defaults with deep customization
- Built-in search, dark mode, card layouts
- Admonitions and shortcodes that don’t fight you
- Docs that exist and are useful
Personal Opinion
Most theme docs are a README and vibes. Blowfish actually explains how things work.
