## What it is
Butterfly is a modern, feature-rich theme for the Hexo static site generator, built with pug templates and stylus styles. It provides a card-based UI with dark mode, responsive layouts, TOC navigation, reading mode, and extensive configuration options for personal blogs.

## Use cases
- make my hexo blog look modern with a card design
- hexo theme with dark mode and responsive layout
- add table of contents and reading mode to my hexo blog
- beautiful blog theme for static site generator
- customize a hexo blog theme with multi-level menus
- theme for personal tech blog on hexo

## When to choose
- You run a Hexo 5.0+ blog and want a polished, actively maintained theme with rich built-in features
- You want dark mode, TOC, word counts, related posts, and comment system integrations out of the box
- You need bilingual (English/Chinese) documentation and community support

## When to avoid
- You use a static site generator other than Hexo
- You want a minimal theme with very few options to configure
- You rely on built-in APlayer/Meting music player support, which was removed in recent versions
