Also show categories of posts

Currently the tags of posts are displayed, and it will be nice to display categories as well.

@yihui what's your use case for requiring both categories and tags to be assigned to posts? They accomplish much the same thing and I think generally just tags should be sufficient for a personal website.

Well, personally I no longer use categories or tags now (just a title and body, and done). I used to use them, and categories are like higher-level tags. So while I do agree with you that tags could be sufficient, I think there will be users who are like the past me.

Interesting to hear that you no longer use either tags or categories. Fast and simple 🤣

I will consider to add support for displaying categories (for cases where the user adds them in the frontmatter), but probably won't add them to the demo posts as I'm trying to keep the demo interface fairly clean and minimal.

That makes perfect sense. Thanks!
