A modified version of the Jekyll version of the "Spectral" theme by HTML5 UP, adapted for publications and scientific outreach in general (yes, it's a modception).
For those unfamiliar with how Jekyll works, check out https://jekyllrb.com/ for all the details, or read up on just the basics of front matter, writing posts, and creating pages.
- GitLab: Simply fork this repository and start editing the
_config.ymlfile! - GitHub: Either indicate this repo as a template while creating a new repository, or fork this repository and start editing the
_config.ymlfile! The.gitlab-ci.ymlfile is only needed for GitLab Pages, so feel free to delete this if you are using GitHub instead.
Read the HOWTO.md file.
This is basically a version of this GitLab repository made by Andrew Banchich. I'll try to keep up with it for new features.
Essentially, the other feature added on top of it is a bit of work under the hood to make it easy to use for scientific outreach, especially in the format of posters, abstracts, or papers.

A big, modern, blocky affair with a mobile-style menu, fully responsive styling,
and an assortment of pre-styled elements. So, pretty much what you were expecting
-- except, of course, for how it's put together, specifically:
- It's built on Skel 3*, a leaner, more modular rewrite of my responsive framework.
(* = still in development as of this writing)
- It uses flexbox*, which eliminates all kinds of terrible hacks and clunky layout
stopgaps (like CSS grid systems).
(* = not supported on IE8/9, but non-flexbox fallbacks are included)
- It uses Sass* a lot more intelligently, thanks in part to several new mixins
and functions I've been working on (as well as a few by @HugoGiraudel).
(* = still entirely optional if you prefer vanilla CSS :)
- A ton of other stuff.
In short, Spectral's the culmination of several new things I'm working on/trying out,
so please, let me know what you think :)
