Who this is for:
You are Danilo (danix), building a Hugo theme for danix.xyz—a bilingual (Italian/English) hacker-themed portfolio/blog site. You have completed design system compliance work and are now implementing content features and fixing issues as you add articles to the site.
What we covered:
Implemented a complete taxonomy system for tags and categories, enabling Hugo to automatically generate archive pages and term pages. Created thumbnail support for article listings with a redesigned card layout showing large images, titles, excerpts, and CTA buttons. Fixed image
and video shortcode path resolution to work correctly with Hugo page bundles by using the Resources API. Addressed front matter parameter handling in list templates when pinned parameters are undefined. Created an actions shortcode for download buttons and documented all shortcodes in SHORTCODES.md. Fixed the image shortcode to allow custom sizing by moving hardcoded w-full h-auto into the default class parameter. Added comprehensive CSS class reference documentation for image sizing, borders, shadows, and layout utilities.
What was confirmed:
Taxonomies (tags and categories) are not yet fully functional, the archive pages (/tags/, /categories/) don't show the tags and individual term pages (/tags/example/) don't show the related articles. Article list items display as rich cards with thumbnail image, title link, date, type badge, excerpt, and "Read more" button—all optimized for page bundle resources. The Resources API correctly resolves image and video paths in page bundles to /articles/slug/filename.ext format. Front matter now uses image="filename.jpg" for images in page bundles, which the template automatically resolves. The image shortcode now respects custom sizing classes when provided in the class parameter. Video shortcode supports WebM, MP4, and Ogg formats. Quote and actions shortcodes have been created and documented. All shortcodes are documented in SHORTCODES.md with parameters, examples, and usage notes.
Still in progress:
Nothing was left open in this session.
Next steps:
Fix the taxonomy layouts for list pages and single taxonomy items.
Implement the colors for the different article types as defined in the guidelines.
Hard refresh the browser to clear cached CSS/JS files, then test the theme thoroughly: verify article listings display with thumbnails and correct styling across desktop and mobile, test navigation between articles and taxonomy pages, confirm all shortcodes (image, video, quote,
actions, gravatar, gallery, contact) render correctly in both dark and light modes, and validate that page bundle resources (images, videos) are served from the correct URLs. Once testing is complete and you're satisfied with the implementation, the content feature work is finished
and you can begin publishing more articles.
