The project is currently using the version 2.0.0 of NES.css library and it would be nice to update to the version 2.3.0.

Local install fails due to missing gem kramdown-parser-gfm, even after installing the gem. Kramdown 2.4.0 is also installed.

Tried with 3 versions of Ruby: 2.7.8, 3.1.4, 3.2.2.

Improve readme file by adding more detailed information.

• Add Contents: describe what is included in the theme.
• Add Usage: describe how use and customize the theme, variables available, etc.
• Add Credits: list contributions, used tools, libraries, etc.

Hello!

I was attempting to apply this theme locally. I'm using Jelkyll version 4.3.2 and it appears that this theme is only compatible with versions of Jekyll <= 4.2.x. If there's a straghtforward way for me assist in making it compatible with later versions of Jekyll, I'm happy to help.

Thanks in advance!

EDITED TO ADD: It looks like there are some dependabot dependency PRs to the Gemspec that if merged could do the trick. Happy to help in whatever way possible with this, since I like this theme so much.

Apply necessary changes to support version 2.1.1 of NES.css library.

Add support to comments for posts.

It can be done by integrating to Disqus. The minima theme has it implemented and can be used as a start point for learning on how to do it.

Create a better preview page, maybe an initial page explaining what the project is about, what is included, some image preview and making use of different markup elements to show how the theme is suppose to look like. A link to a blog page could be added pointing to what is currently the initial page.

• Move index.html to a new directory /blog.
• Set the variable paginate_path: '/blog/page:num/'.
• Create a new index.html in project's root directory.

Review and rewrite _sass/jekyll-theme-8bit.scss source code in order to be more SASS than pure CSS allowing the reuse of this file as a code base to more specific styling.

e.g.:

• Separate layout rules and style.
• Make use of variables for colours, sizes, etc.
• Avoid repetition by using inheritance.

Forking this repo to a github page doesn't seem to bundle the theme.

Add an alternative set of colours based on a dark background. This two theme modes can be switched by setting a variable in _config.yml like theme_mode: [light or dark] with light being the default value.
