Basically Basic
Your new Jekyll default theme — a modern, polished substitute for Minima. Six customisable colour skins, resume layout, off-canvas menu, and everything Minima should have been.
About this Theme
Basically Basic is Michael Rose’s answer to the question: what if Minima was actually good? It keeps the simplicity and GitHub Pages compatibility of Jekyll’s default theme, but adds six colour skins, an off-canvas navigation menu, a dedicated resume layout, and the overall polish you’d expect from the author of Minimal Mistakes.
It’s the theme to recommend when someone asks for something simple but not boring, and it works straight out of the box with GitHub Pages.
Who is it for? Developers and writers who want a step up from Minima without jumping into the full complexity of Minimal Mistakes — a clean, modern blog with useful extras and zero setup friction.
