Thoughts is a Jekyll personal blog theme by Shreyas that publishes short posts about life, astronomy, and code as a static site, with a live demo running at https://thoughts.shreyasb.com.
What is Thoughts?
Thoughts is a personal blog repository tagged as a jekyll-theme and personal-blog in its GitHub topics. It relies on Jekyll, the Ruby-based static site generator, to turn Markdown post files into plain HTML, which means the published site needs no database or server-side runtime. The live site currently shows a single post reading "I will be writing many things on this blog! Keep posted." and is signed "Thanks, Shreyas". The repository description sets the intended content scope as life, astronomy, code, and more, and the project had two GitHub stars at the time of writing.
Key Features
- Jekyll static site generation — the project is flagged as a jekyll-theme, so posts are authored as Markdown and compiled into static HTML that can be hosted on any static file server.
- Live demo — the theme is publicly running at https://thoughts.shreyasb.com, letting you inspect the default rendering before forking it.
- Defined editorial scope — the repository metadata lists "My thoughts on life, astronomy, code and more!" as the blog's focus, which can guide post structure.
- Starter welcome post — the homepage ships with one placeholder post that you can edit or remove when you take over the site.
- Public repository — the source is openly available on GitHub with stars and topic tags, so you can fork, modify, and redeploy it under your own domain.
Who is it for?
- Personal bloggers — people who want a plain Jekyll blog for short essays and life updates and need a ready-to-fork starting point.
- Astronomy and science writers — the repository's stated focus on astronomy makes it a fit for hobbyists publishing observation notes or night-sky logs.
- Developers learning Jekyll — the small repository serves as a minimal reference for how a jekyll-theme is organized and tagged for discovery.
What can you do with Thoughts?
- Essay writers: swap the placeholder welcome post for Markdown posts about everyday life and rebuild the static site.
- Astronomy hobbyists: publish a static blog of night-sky observations under the repository's stated astronomy focus.
- Coders: maintain a technical blog for code notes and snippets, matching the third content area named in the description.
FAQ
Is Thoughts a Jekyll theme?
Yes. The GitHub repository lists jekyll-theme and personal-blog among its topics, and the live blog is produced by Jekyll's static site build. Because Jekyll compiles Markdown posts into static HTML, the theme can be hosted on any plain static file server without a database.
Who is behind Thoughts?
The blog is signed "Thanks, Shreyas" and the live site is hosted at https://thoughts.shreyasb.com, so Shreyas is the author visible in the content. No other author or maintainer is credited on the page.
Where is the blog hosted?
The live blog runs at https://thoughts.shreyasb.com, while the source repository is public on GitHub with two stars at the time of writing. As a Jekyll site, the project can be rebuilt and redeployed to any static hosting service.
What content does the blog plan to cover?
The repository description states the blog will cover "My thoughts on life, astronomy, code and more!", defining life, astronomy, and code as the three core topic areas.
Does the blog have any published posts yet?
Not yet. The public site currently displays one placeholder post that reads "I will be writing many things on this blog! Keep posted." That single entry appears to be a starter message rather than a finished article.
