[[Simply Jekyll]] is a highly functional jekyll-based theme that combines the best of different worlds (atleast tries to 😅). It is a minimal and distraction free theme that strives to provide maximum value all without holding back on any essential features that a user would benefit from or would desire for. This is an evolving project and is garanteed to be maintained at least for quite some time as I myself am a beneficiary of this theme and the project.

The theme provides a rich set of features that include:

• Wiki-style markdown syntax for both internal as well as external links.
• Support for [[backlinks]] and related posts to exhort serendipitous encounters.
• Feed-specific context menu for instantly accessing the related posts and references.
• Auto stale-link management for internal links.
• Custom syntax for sidenotes and marginnotes on either side of the feed/post.
• Support for partial [[transclusion]] of posts.
• On hover page preview.
• Custom classes to style phrasing elements like quotes, callouts, etc by mentioning size, font-types, weight, box etc.
• Preliminary support for flashcards.
• Custom syntax to highlight your favorite part of the post (No, I am not talking about code syntax highlighting, which is already provided by Jekyll through Rouge).
• Support for external link identifier through icons.
• Finally, the most important of them all —- No bloatware or frameworks!

Plus everything else that you can already do with jekyll like write something on a bunch of markdown files and convert it into a HTML file or sprinkle in some inline html can still be done alongside these features.
