Hugo adaptation of Now-UI theme

[cboettig]

https://github.com/cboettig/hugo-now-ui

This theme is a direct port of the free, MIT-Licensed Now UI Kit developed by the good folks at @creativetimofficial which I have merely ported into the Hugo framework so it can be easily deployed and adapted by Hugo users.

Cheers,

Hello @cboettig,

thank you very much for sharing this theme with the Hugo community. Creative Tim does some good stuff. You already mentioned that it can be easily deployed and adapted. Is this theme meant as a starter kit for Hugo users, e.g. to create a blog?

I tested your them with the build script of www.themes.gohugo.io and noticed a few things:

The thumbnail and screenshot don't have the right dimensions. You can find them in the README.

Please use a valid Hugo version for min_version in theme.toml

Regards, Digitalcraftsman

@digitalcraftsman Thanks for the feedback and apologies for omitting those. Image sizes and Hugo minimum version now fixed.

Yes, this is meant as a starter kit or theme for any blog or other website that wants to use Hugo. I've provided an exampleSite (rendered at https://cboettig.github.io/hugo-now-ui/) so folks can see how the menus etc look and how additional page styling can be accomplished using standard Bootstrap 4 elements, but really this theme should work out of the box on vanilla hugo content, where the user can specify a background image for the page and enjoy responsive page and menu behavior.

Thanks for the fast response. I just noticed that a few images embedded on the homepage can't be found and cause an error in the console. This is the case in the theme site demo and the one that you host yourself. It's nothing dramatic but I wanted to drop a note about it.

Nonetheless, I'll add your theme in a minute.

Your theme should appear soon on the theme site. Furthermore, I'll promote your theme on Hugo's official Twitter account.
