A pedantic comment. I think it should be saying "5000 GitHub stars" instead of "5000 Git stars". Similarly, "GitHub Link" instead of "Git Link". Git ≠ GitHub.

Makes sense for the stars, but I don't think it matters so much for the link. People are generally happy to accept a link to a web based repository browser, github or otherwise, as a git/repo/whatever link. Especially when the clone URL is usually only 2 clicks away.

This page is a pretty convincing argument for why is the right element: https://www.buttoncheatsheet.com/

It's not quite right though. You need if you don't want it to have submit semantics (including submitting the containing form if you happen to have it in one).

And this thread right here is why we can't have truly semantic HTML, and why the thing most people tout as "semantic HTML" today... isn't.

If this is your website, I recommend adding something above the fold of the home page explaining what Hugo is.

I have no idea what Hugo is and was frustrated by this too.

Hugo is a static site generator.

I guess that if you are looking for themes for it, that is when this site would be relevant for you, then you would already know what it is.

I've come to think the error in semantic HTML is that humans think there's a difference between "button" and "ceqnej"... but there isn't. Something has to actually define the difference. Computers don't care.

Where can I get this definition and apply it to my program?

There isn't one.

The browser knows what a is, but it knows a lot of other things. isn't particularly special.

I still have to explain it to any program I may write, and it's no skin off my nose to explain it what a "button" is, or a , or a . If I don't speak English that's what button looks like anyhow.

What I can get for my program is a specification of HTML and a compliant parser. But that provides extremely weak "semantics".

"Semantic HTML" is a cognitive illusion brought about by looking at 62 75 74 74 6F 6E and conflating your human read of those bytes with real meaning.

(There is value to using nice-looking HTML... but the value is for humans, and has more to do with principles of software engineering and data organization and virtually nothing to do with "semantics".)

The big thing to notice here: all of the top themes are minimalist. Limited colors, simple layout, just nice spacing and typography.

I've spent a lot of time looking for good, professional-looking minimalist themes and the pickings have been slim, regardless of platform. Too many theme designers load up their designs with unnecessary elements.

Note to designers: less is more.

The hugo theme I use on my blog gets these warnings from Google. Things such as font is too small for mobile. Can anyone recommend a theme from this list that meets all the checkboxes for a blog and does not have any issues raised by Google?

There is not more to load. It's not even a button, just text looking like a button. Can't we still use semantic HTML anymore?

You don't get HTML. Neither do I. A couple years back there was a well-received "semantic HTML" submission here. I was in the small minority wondering how come ` ` is better semantics than ` `.

XML would be truly semantic
