Welcome to Friday Theme
What is it?
Friday Theme is a theme for Jekyll using Bootstrap 4.4 designed to build a great personal web site with a portfolio, blog and project documentation. It is compatible with GitHub Pages. It supports all the Bootstrap components, it has blogs with tags, it has syntax highlighting and it has SVG icons. It is customisable with SCSS by simply changing the default boostrap variables.
It is maintained by Simon Freytag on GitHub and it was built originally for Simon’s own portfolio.
Here’s the full feature list and some quick examples of what it can do.
