Quattle is a modern, responsive and customizable theme for the static site generator Jekyll. Typography and design aesthetics are give the full attention they deserve. A light or dark color scheme will be displayed automatically depending on a device's settings. It builds upon a standard Jekyll installation in a number of ways that are important to both writers and software developers.

This project was originally released in 2019 as Noir, but various issues including 2FA and GPG lockout made that repo inaccessible to me. Every attempt to communicate these access issues to GitHub (read: Microsoft) and rectify the situation were unsuccessful. The project was renamed to avoid gem issues.
