Flux Palette is a modern Hexo theme designed for creators who want a personal blog that actually feels personal.

The Concept

Most themes force you into a specific “Dark” or “Light” mode. Flux Palette embraces choice. With over 15 built-in color palettes and a dynamic “Flux” engine, users can customize the reading experience to match their mood.

Technical Highlights

This project was built to solve several common issues with static site generators:

  1. Privacy: We implemented a client-side AES-256-GCM encryption system, allowing you to host password-protected content on public repositories safely.
  2. Performance: By using Alpine.js and pre-compiling assets with SWC, the theme remains incredibly lightweight despite its rich feature set.
  3. Search: It supports five search backends (Local, Redis, Supabase, Turso, Upstash Search) to scale from small personal blogs to large archives.

Project System

This page itself is a demo of the Projects System. Unlike standard posts, projects have:

  • Weight-based sorting: You can pin important projects (like this one) to the top.
  • Dedicated Front Matter: Custom fields for buttons, project_summary, and project_tags.
  • Separate Index: Keeps your portfolio distinct from your blog feed.

Getting Started

You can install Flux Palette directly via npm or git. Check out the documentation for a full guide.

Outcomes

  • Multiple palettes with browser-local preferences
  • Responsive media and explicit offline reading
  • Local and remote search with public-only indexing
