Trying to keep this one short. My current site theme looks good now, but it ignores most features in the base theme: lightbi. So now it’s time to go to lightbi school and see if I can figure out how to achieve my sketch in a more compliant way.
Observant followers will note that this is much simpler than the previously shared sketch. Mostly because I’ve decided to lean away from visual candy in favor of simplicity and efficiency.
As I continue to explore the lightbi theme, I’m noticing that it doesn’t implement collapsing menus. You can define a hierarchical page structure in the config file (explicitly) but it doesn’t get displayed in an elegant, “click to reveal” kinda way. Worse, I need a mechanism that discovers the structure dynamically, not by hard coding in the config. But fortunately, I might have found a solution.
When you invest time in any process, you quickly learn to appreciate the difference between a tool for the job and the right tool, and so far, Hugo is knocking it out of Right Tool Stadium, but there is a downside.
