Hugonews

Hackernews inspired theme for Hugo. It's not 1-to-1 clone, but it has a similar feel and look.

Installation

Using Git, you can add the theme as a submodule to your Hugo site:

git submodule add https://github.com/hugmouse/hugonews.git themes/hugonews

Add the following to your config.toml:

theme = "hugonews"

Configuration

To add more menu items, you need to add them to the menu section of your config.toml (hugo.toml):

[[menus.main]]
name = 'News'
pageRef = '/'
weight = 10

[[menus.main]]
name = 'Posts'
pageRef = '/posts'
weight = 20

[[menus.main]]
name = 'Tags'
pageRef = '/tags'
weight = 30

Adding description for the route

Let's say we have a menu item called posts. To add a description to the page, you need to add the following to your content/posts/_index.md:

+++
title = 'Posts'
date = 2023-01-01T08:30:00-07:00
draft = false
+++

This is the posts page!
