Tranquilpeak is a gorgeous responsive theme for the Hugo blog framework, designed to provide a beautiful and highly customizable experience for bloggers. It is fully responsive, optimized for tablets and mobiles, and offers a configurable sidebar menu. The theme includes dedicated pages for filtering tags, categories, and archives, along with a background cover image and an elegant 'about' page. It supports the Open Graph protocol for rich social media sharing and is easily customizable in terms of fonts, colors, layout elements, and code coloration. Internationalization (i18n) is also supported.
Key features for posts include thumbnail and cover images, responsive handling of videos and images, and various sharing options. It integrates GitHub theme for code highlighting, supports image galleries with FancyBox, wide images, tabbed code blocks, highlighted text, and alerts. A table of contents is automatically generated for easy navigation within posts.
Integrated services include Disqus for comments, Gitlak, Google Analytics for tracking, Gravatar for user avatars, and Facebook Insights. While most features from its original Hexo version are ported, some like Algolia integration and specific pagination customizations are still missing or not possible due to Hugo limitations (e.g., archives by year/month).
To get started, users can clone the repository into their Hugo site's themes directory and configure it using the exampleSite/config.toml as a reference. Developers interested in modifying the theme can follow the detailed developer documentation for building and editing. A live demo is available at tranquilpeak.kakawait.com, and users can add their blogs to the showcase by opening an issue on GitHub.
