## What it is
NexT is an elegant, high-quality theme for the Hexo static site generator, offering four built-in layout schemes (Muse, Mist, Pisces, Gemini) and extensive configuration options. It is distributed via npm and supports dark mode, Pjax, MathJax/KaTeX, mermaid diagrams, multiple comment systems, and 20+ languages.

## Use cases
- style a hexo blog with a polished theme
- add dark mode to my static site
- render math formulas in a hexo blog
- add mermaid diagrams and code highlighting to a blog
- set up a multilingual personal website
- switch blog layout schemes without rewriting templates

## When to choose
- you run a Hexo site and want a mature, feature-rich, actively maintained theme
- you need math rendering, diagrams, comments, or analytics integration out of the box
- you want a theme with broad browser support and many languages

## When to avoid
- you use a static site generator other than Hexo
- you need a fully custom design from scratch
- your project requires a permissive license, since NexT is AGPL-3.0
