Fuse Core

A lightweight Jekyll theme for single-page personal websites.

This Jekyll theme is for you if you need a personal website that simply summarizes the links to your social media profiles and external content. It is:

  • responsive - adapts to all screen sizes
  • mobile-friendly
  • lightweight - no JavaScript (except for Google Analytics, if enabled)
  • easy to configure - no HTML knowledge required, just change _config.yml
  • fast - All third party components loaded via their CDN (with subresource integrity), so most resources are already cached from visits to other websites.
  • Optional Google Analytics supported, with IP anonymization and cookie consent popup (optional, but these things are helpful to comply with EU data protection laws). You'll need a Google Analytics account, of course, and set it up correctly first.

Ancestry

The visual design for this theme is taken from the front-cover theme by Dashingcode. Big thank you, it looks awesome!

However, the Fuse Core theme is a complete reimplementation, which makes it very different on the inside. There are many improvements big and small over front-cover, making Fuse Core a kind of "Front Cover 2.0" or "Front Cover Plus":

  • Ability to show "featured" links in a separate row of icons. Featured link icons optionally have captions and may point anywhere. They also have their own icons chosen from all of Font Awesome's solid icons.
  • Use of Bootstrap for responsive design. This gives us supreme browser compatibility and ease of maintenance, because a myriad of problems are already handled by the folks at Bootstrap.
  • Up-to-date libraries, especially Font Awesome 5.
  • Support for Google Analytics , including some legal details such as IP anonymization and cookie consent popup (all optional).
  • Search engine control via configurable meta tags
  • Responsive sticky footer
