Journal Template

Just the template for the journal I use. It uses jekyll to generate a website and the files in _feed become entries thereof. I don't post the actual entries here but it's a pretty fun theme-based project.

To use it just set up jekyll, clone the project, and run bundle exec jekyll serve --livereload. All the entries are put in the journal/_feed directory. Could've had them put in journal/_posts but I was troubleshooting something and when I shifted over to another collection I couldn't be bothered to change it back.

All entries will show up here as a list of links to those pages.

Entry Page

Pretty much what your page will look like. I really like the No Tears font because I think it's a well designed handwriting font (credits at the bottom) but you can change it to whatever you want to in css/style.css.

Fluff

If you would like something a little more at home, you can get your terminal to look something like a notepad (credits at the bottom) with a kitty config located at extra/kitty. Just drop the folder into your ~/.config directory and the next instance of kitty you launch should look something like a notebook.

If you're more of a URxvt person I have the config set up for that as well in journal/extra/.Xresources. Just go to where that file is, make the change to the path of the tiled-background image, and run xrdb -m .Xresources.

Thanks for checking out my GitHub, hope you were entertained. Here are some honorable mentions for the template.

Most of the fonts in this come from Owen Earl, you can check out his fonts over at indestructible type*. I really love all the fonts he puts out, especially those from the Jost* font family, which was the original font used for this but I eventually opted for No Tears* as this seemed like the best time to use it.

The idea for the terminal notepad theme and and the URxvt configs for it come from wooosh. The kitty configs provided use the tiled image from wooosh and the rose-pine theme.
