Information about Helium
At it’s core, dactl is a forked version of sentenza but it has been almost entirely rewritten from scratch.
I have just started my journey in the world of web development, learning new things on the way.
Looking for a way to put my newly acquired skills to test I found Jekyll and I quickly realized that it’s going to be a good learning experience since I don’t like building ‘dummy’ projects.
I’ve built this theme as a way to develop my skills further.
