What is it?

Chirpy is a Jekyll theme aimed at technical writing. It provides a responsive layout with light and dark modes, a localized UI, and an auto-generated table of contents, so a blog built with it reads well on both desktop and mobile.

For technical content, the theme includes syntax highlighting, mathematical expressions, Mermaid diagrams and flowcharts, and embedded media. Posts can be organized with hierarchical categories and trending tags, and pinned posts and last-modified dates are supported.

The theme also includes built-in search, multiple comment system integrations, Atom feeds, PWA support, web analytics integration and SEO features. It is distributed as a RubyGem and includes a devcontainer setup for development.
