brutalist-blog is a no frills, fully-responsive, hyper-minimalistic dark/light theme. The theme is heavily inspired by Mark Otto's personal site: https://markdotto.com/

Demo: https://andrewhwanpark.github.io/brutalist-blog/

My personal site that uses the same theme: https://andrewhwanpark.github.io/

#### Features

- Easy integration with Google Analytics.
- Generates XML sitemap and RSS Atom feed.
- jekyll-seo-tag to add metadata tags for search engines and social networks to better index and display your site's content.
- Full markdown support: code blocks and tables are automatically bootstrap components.
