Mediumish - Jekyll Theme

Mediumish is a free open-source Jekyll theme that gives blogs the clean, typography-focused reading experience of Medium, created by Sal at wowthemes.net.

What is Mediumish?

Mediumish is a Jekyll theme designed to replicate the clean, minimal look of Medium for static blogs. It takes a standard Jekyll site configuration and produces an article-focused blog layout, and it runs on the Jekyll static site generator, which outputs plain HTML. The theme was designed and developed by Sal at wowthemes.net and is released for free under the MIT license, with the GitHub repository hosted under the username wowthemesnet.

Key Features

• Jekyll-based — Built on the Jekyll static site generator, so it produces fast, plain HTML sites ideal for GitHub Pages.

• Live demo — A working example is hosted on GitHub Pages at wowthemesnet.github.io/mediumish-theme-jekyll.
