Are you using some sort of website builder / pre-made styles for your writeups? I really like the layout and color/ stlye.

I’m using Hugo as the static site generator (it really helps with blogs but I wouldn’t use it for simple presentation webpages).

I started with the Blogophonic theme but I have heavily edited it since then: https://github.com/formspree/blogophonic-hugo

Unfortunately I don’t have some pre-made theme that I can share, I mostly improvised with colours and styles that I noticed look good on other websites, then settled on some colour scheme and style using Sass variables that I use all over the place.

If it's easy, do you mind sharing the hex for some of the colors, such as the background? You've picked a really nice combo of colors that I'd like to bookmark
Sure, the whole website is open source. This is the file with the colors: https://github.com/alin23/alinpanaitiu.com/blob/master/asset...

Although I’m not using them all. I just port them from project to project

Thanks but that URL isn't working for me?
I just clicked on it and it works. But here it is in a shorter form in case the length is the problem: https://tinyurl.com/yzck7y9v
Hmm, I clicked on both links on both my phone (4G) and laptop (wifi) and got a 404 error each time. Perhaps it's not publicly accessible, and only accessible when logged in to your Github account. Strange.
These are easy to look up yourself with your browser's "Inspect" functionality. E.g. in Chrome, press Ctrl-Shift-I, click the <body> tag in the Elements panel, and there's the background colour in the Styles panel: #fef7ef. If you don't use Chrome, it will be something similar; right click on part of the page and choose "Inspect" or similar.
