fryventures.com is the live example site for newfire_theme, a custom Jekyll theme I designed and built. It doubles as a character storytelling world I make with my family, which makes it a real, deployed proof that the theme holds up in the wild rather than a throwaway demo page.

The goal

Build a reusable, self-contained Jekyll theme, and prove it with a living site instead of a static demo.

What I built

  • newfire_theme — a custom Jekyll theme: layouts, includes, styling, navigation, and configuration designed to be reused across sites.
  • The example site itself, fryventures.com, as the theme’s real-world showcase.
  • A GitHub Actions pipeline: build, test, preview, deploy.

Designed and coded with agents

I built the theme and the site using an agentic design-and-coding workflow: agents accelerate design and implementation, while I keep judgment, review, and verification in my own hands. It is the same responsible AI-assisted engineering described on the Practices page, applied end to end on a real project.

Details

  • A small Codex skill imports Day One journal entries into field-note posts through a dry-run → review → apply → verify flow, so automation never writes unreviewed changes.
  • The theme keeps content, layout, and styling cleanly separated, so posts, pages, and navigation stay simple to maintain.
