Mediumish - Jekyll Theme
This site forks the Mediumish Jekyll theme and makes it suitable for a simple static blog by removing some third party dependencies, plugins & features.
While the original theme released by released by Sal is a fantastic full featured website theme, it has a number of dependencies on third party services that could be liabilities in today's legal environment or are in my opinion not suitable for simple static blogs that can be hosted on Github pages. In this fork, I have stripped out those components and made some fixes for better scalability.
Huge props and many thanks to the original author for releasing such a beautiful and functional theme with a permissive license.
