Hydejack

Hydejack is a cutting-edge Jekyll theme that combines the best of static sites and modern web apps. It features a suite of JavaScript that makes the page feel like an app, without sacrificing backwards-compatibility, page-load speed or SEO.

Your presence on the web — A blog, a portfolio and a resume.

It aims to be the complete package for professionals on the web. It features a blog suitable for both prose and technical documentation, a showcase for projects and a resume that fits with the rest of the design.

It's best to just see it in action.

Features

Both the PRO and free version includes all of the features listed below:

  • Full in-app page loading — no Flash of White, no Flash of Unstyled Content1
  • Advanced animations, inspired by Material Design
  • A customizable sidebar that turns into a touch-enabled app drawer on mobile
  • Near-perfect Google PageSpeed Score2
  • Even higher perceived speed thanks to pre-fetching and latency-hiding
  • Support for categories and tags — even when hosting on GitHub Pages
  • Built-in collection of social media icons
  • Author section below each article and multiple authors
  • Simple and semantic HTML — can be viewed even with text-based browsers
  • Progressive enhancement — sacrifice features, not content
  • Google Analytics and Google Fonts support
  • Blog layout with pagination
  • Syntax highlighting
  • Math formulas via LaTeX
  • Disqus comments
