Table of Contents (ToC) floating on the side

By adding config:

params:
  TocSide: 'left'  # or 'right'

ToC will float on the left/right side of the page. The ToC box is responsive, it only shows on the side when minimum screen size is 1440px.

this feature is enabled on this site.

InstantClick integration

By adding config:

params:
  EnableInstantClick: true

InstantClick will be enabled, making navigation behaves like Single Page Application.

Note that /search pages are omitted from InstantClick to prevent conflicts from search's JavaScript, this may be changed in the future after refactoring those scripts.

Another thing to notice is smooth scrolling will be disabled if InstantClick is enabled, because they both listen click event on every <a> tags. IMO smooth scrolling is not very useful so it has to give way to InstantCllick.

Social icons from Simple Icons

Add social icons with -simple suffix from Simple Icons.

Available icons:

• github-simple
• rss-simple
• telegram-simple
• twitter-simple
• pinboard-simple

Opinionated UI enhancements

• Distinguish home page width and post page width, post page is wider (800px) for better readability, you can change it by --post-width in theme-vars.css.
• Menu links are always bold, this feels more consistent when clicking around. Active links have deeper color.
