title: Introducing Reverie - An elegant Jekyll theme
categories: [Miscellaneous, Jekyll]
---

Reverie is a Jekyll theme which is simple and opinionated. It's actually a fork of [jekyll-now](https://github.com/barryclark/jekyll-now) with some additional features and personal touches which I've implemented to suit my needs for [my blog](https://www.amitmerchant.com).

This is a plug-and-play Jekyll theme which you can use on GitHub Pages without even setting up a local environment.

## Features

- Command-line free fork-first workflow, using GitHub.com to create, customize and post to your blog
- Fully responsive and mobile optimized base theme (Theme Demo)
- Sass/Coffeescript support using Jekyll 2.0
- Free hosting on your GitHub Pages user site
- Markdown blogging
- Syntax highlighting using Pygments
    - Dracula syntax theme included
- Disqus commenting
- Google Analytics integration
- Categorize posts out-of-the box
- A home widget to show recent GitHub commit
- RSS Feed
- SEO friendly
