  2. Edit the markdown file with the required front-matter as shown below.
  3. Submit a pull-request with the title Theme Submission: theme-name
  4. You do not need to generate the Github stars or theme screenshots. Please just submit the markdown file in the PR.

# A simple starter kit for Gridsome

This theme is a lightweight starter kit. It also gives you a well organised starting point to extend it for yourself.

## Features

* Customisable design tokens to make it your own  
* Customisable global data and navigation  
* Tags and tag archives  
* Progressively enhanced, semantic and accessible  

Submitting New Categories (Taxonomy Terms)

Themes can be categorised with terms from these 4 taxonomies. ssg, cms, css and archetype

If you are adding a theme which uses an SSG or CMS which doesnt exist you will need to add it as part of your pull-request.

  1. Create a new taxonomy term by creating the markdown file under content/ssg/ or content/cms. For example let's say you wanted to add a new SSG called "Super Duper". Add a file under content/ssg/super-duper/_index.md and add the following frontmatter
---
title: "Super Duper"
icon: images/icons/super-duper.svg 
official_url: https://super-duper.org
---
  1. Add the icon. You will need to upload an icon into static/images/icons. The icon should in SVG format under 3KB. If it's a PNG please make sure the size is 60x60px and the size is as small as possible (you should be able to keep it under 5KB)
  2. Update the Javascript filter logic. Update the file themes/jamstackthemes/assets/js/filter/filter-groups.js and add super-duper to the ssg array.

Contribution Guidelines

  • Any open source themes with a public github repo can be submitted.
  • Please make sure the demo URL links to a demo of the theme and not your personal or business site.
