Code Quality

A new release can happen at any time from the main branch of the GitHub project without further acknowledgment. This makes it necessary that, every pushed set of changesets into the main branch must be self-contained and correct, resulting in a releasable version.

Stay simple for the user by focusing on the mantra “convention over configuration”.

At installation the site should work reasonable without (m)any configuration.

Stay close to the Hugo way.

Don’t use npm or any preprocessing, our contributors may not be front-end developers.

Document new features in the exampleSite. This also contains entries to the What’s new page.

Don’t break existing features if you don’t have to.

Remove reported issue from the browser’s console.

Check for unnecessary whitespace and correct indention of your resulting HTML.
