About Hugo Ivy

This Hugo theme was ported from Ivy (its original repo is no longer accessible), a minimalist website generator built in Python. I don't have time to document it. You have to read the source code to understand what it can do. Like Ivy, this theme is also released under the Unlicense, which basically means you just do whatever you want.
