Hydejack is a Jekyll theme with JavaScript powers, combining the best of static sites and modern web apps. It features a suite of JavaScript that makes the page feel like an app, without sacrificing backwards-compatibility, page-load speed or SEO.

Your presence on the web — A blog, a portfolio and a resume.

Hydejack aims to be the complete package for professionals on the web. It features a blog suitable for both prose and technical documentation, a showcase for your projects, and a resume that fits with the rest of the design.
