## What it is
Hello Friend is a minimal, responsive Hugo theme for personal blogs and sites, featuring dark/light mode, PrismJS code highlighting, and built-in image shortcodes. The repository was archived in June 2023 and is no longer maintained, though it remains usable and forkable.

## Use cases
