Core components
Hinode is based on the following core components:
Hugo
is a static HTML and CSS website generator written in the
Go language
. It is optimized for speed, ease of use, and configurability. Hugo takes a directory with
Markdown content
and templates and renders them into a full HTML website.
Bootstrap
is a popular, open-source web development framework. Using a mobile-first approach, it provides several functions and components to simplify the creation of responsive websites.
npm
is a software registry that enables the sharing and reuse of both open-source and private software packages. By taking advantage of its version management, software dependencies are easily tracked and updated.
FlexSearch
is a flexible search library to enable full text search across your site.
Font Awesome
is a popular icon library and toolkit, used on over 200 million sites. The free version provides access to more than 2,000 icons. The toolkit also provides various styling and animation options out of the box.
Optional components
Hinode supports several opt-in components. In the default configuration, these components are added on a page-by-page basis:
KaTeX
is a fast math typesetting library for the web.
Leaflet
is an open-source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps.
Lottie
is a library that parses Adobe After Effects animations exported as JSON with Bodymovin and renders them natively.
Mermaid
is a diagramming and charting tool that renders Markdown-inspired text definitions to create and modify diagrams dynamically.
Simple Datatables
is a lightweight, extendable, JavaScript HTML table library.
Themes
Hinode is inspired by the following themes:
Blist
is a clean and fast blog theme for your Hugo site using Tailwind CSS.
Doks
is a Hugo theme for building secure, fast, and SEO-ready documentation websites, which you can easily update and customize.
