Getting rid of unnecessary stuff that comes with the default Hexo theme.
Fancybox
Looks nice, small footprint, and I’m sure it’s well written. Don’t need it. Luckily you can turn it off in the config file for the theme and suddenly it’s no longer an asset. Cool.
FontAwesome
Seems like it’s being used for the icons in this theme. Looks like fontawesome supports using SVG instead of fonts now which is great. I’ll have to look into that but I doubt I’ll really need to leverage all their icons and I’m pretty comfortable rolling my own at this point. Keeping for now until the next theme.
jQuery?
Well I’m not using it at the moment, but I pretty much use it in all other aspects of my work in some way so it seems silly to assume I’ll never need it here. Probably will be kept in the next theme.
Source Code Pro
Hey it’s free and allows me to style code blocks which will be useful in the future as we build out this site and learn some stuff.
Testing:
1
Source Code Pro
test
1
let thisbe = "a lesson"
Let’s keep it. I’d use the font I use at home but it cost money.
Side note, looking into how one triggers source code pro use led me to find out that Hexo uses stylus?
Stylus
Is this what the cool kids use now? Whatever, it looks and acts like SASS, so it’s fine by me. If I find out that it’s missing something I need, I’ll switch.
