Theme Update

The last update to the theme was in Dec 2024, as per the git log

The website looked like this 1

Then recently, I came across blowfish theme. XeroLinux used it 2 (but currently it uses Astro+Tailwind 🤷‍♂️)

So I tried to locally see how my site would look with this theme.

I liked it a lot.

But …

The documentation site is s…l…o…w 3

So slow, that the entire machine comes to stand still if the browser is on the docs page.

To be fair, the sites using blowfish aren’t slow.

I wasn’t going to use background on my site, so locally it was OK.

But one has to refer to the docs when changing theme, and reading docs was punishment (due to entire machine grinding to halt)

That is when an idea struck me.

Why not make existing site look more less blowfish?

It was not going to be easy

But it was.

Enter AI assisted coding.

I asked opencode to port blowfish look to my site.

Voila!

It did take couple of hours for 2-3 days each to get it the way I wanted, and bugfree, but I think I finally got it.

You can read about it in the post linked above, if you are curious.
