Why I Chose Blowfish for My Portfolio
When building this portfolio, I needed a theme that was fast, accessible, and visually stunning. Enter Blowfish.
Key Features#
Blowfish is a fork of the popular Congo theme, but with superpowers.
1. Native Tailwind CSS#
Styling is a breeze. The entire theme is built on Tailwind, meaning I can customize anything without fighting a rigid CSS structure.
2. Rich Shortcodes#
As a developer, I need to express complex ideas. Blowfish provides tools for that:
Code Blocks with Copy Button
def hello_world():
print("Hello, Blowfish!")
return TrueBadges for Skills Python React Docker
3. Automatic Dark Mode#
Check the toggle in the footer. The theme handles system preferences out of the box.
Performance#
Because it’s Hugo, it’s blazing fast. Static site generation means:
- 0ms database lookups.
- Instant page loads.
- <1s Time to Interactive.
Conclusion#
If you’re a developer looking for a portfolio theme that respects your time and your code, give Blowfish a try.
