jekyll-theme-superb

This is a simple Jekyll theme that uses tailwindCSS’s-based ui-kit of simplysuperb. My blog uses it currently, so you can see it live at: https://blog.simplysuperb.app/. Additionally, here’s a screenshot*:

* Article titles were copied from dev.to‘s homepage at the time of designing of this template.
