Standalone — single-page Ghost theme

Standalone - an ultra-streamlined Ghost theme for single-page websites =========================================================

Standalone is a theme for when you want to use the tool you already know (Ghost!) to create a single-purpose webpage, rather than a whole publication.

It displays the most recent post in full on the homepage. There is no header, navigation, optin forms, or bloat — just the content. This means that you can make the content truly stand alone, with customized formatting that matches it perfectly.

Standalone is perfect for sharing in-depth guides, manifestos, recipes, checklists, and documents with the world -- without “building out a publication” or getting tangled up in the technology.

Features

• Bring your own aesthetic. Standalone serves up high quality HTML, a tabula rasa that's ready for your vibe.

• Responsive! Because HTML is responsive by default.

• Ready for Ghost 5.0 and beyond. Standalone is ready for the future.

• Smart defaults. You can customize Standalone in a thousand different ways, and it makes the job easier by being as close to neutral as possible.

• Cleanly coded and comprehensively commented. The code is nice and clean, W3C valid, and scores "A" on Google pagespeed.

• Insanely fast. It's faster even than weblog, which is the fastest Ghost theme there is.

Getting started

Getting started building your Standalone site is as easy as one, two.

• { 1 }: Get the theme .zip, and upload and activate it it from your Ghost blog's admin panel.
• { 3 }: Optionally, choose between a monospace, sans-serif, and serif font from the dropdowns in the site wide design settings of your blog's admin panel
• { 2 }: Write a post and publish it.

Pro-tip: If you're just using plain HTML/Markdown (no fancy Ghost cards), and want even more performance, change the line that says `"card_assets": true,` in package.json to `"card_assets": false,`.
