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 True

Badges 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.
