pjax is really cool, I think its priority could be set to high. 😃

[ivan-nginx]

There is no matter order in lists. Just all finded and remembered features/bugs for now. This list can be also increased in any time.

[ApolloZhu]

Maybe supporting sidebar on mobile for all schemes?

[ivan-nginx]

@ApolloZhu added.

[maple3142]

I think instantclick works like pjax.(And it is easy to add)
But add it will break many thing.

[GARENFEATHER]

wow, so many new features I appreciate, anyone that has upgraded?

[ivan-nginx]

This is roadmap, not actually implemented features.

[tiny1990]

Code highlighting plugin is not pretty.

[BillYang2016]

Clipboard or "select all" button for code blocks.

[ivan-nginx]

@BillYang2016 added.

[ivan-nginx]

@BillYang2016 > Clipboard or "select all" button for code blocks.

Added in #234 pull as copy codeblock button feature and will released under NexT v6.2.0. Seems like similar things, but button is better.

[maple3142]

How do you think about upgrade to jquery 3?

[ivan-nginx]

Yeah, seems good. And if variant, I think about remove out jQuery totally.

[maple3142]

I think remote jQuery totally is a little bit impossible, because too many plugin depends on it.
Like fancybox, lazyload.

[ivan-nginx]

Set as dependencies of course, not possible?
Anyway, i think there is some versions of «light» types jQuery. We can try to use more lightweight lib. I see what some CN version was like this, but i don't und lang. U can try to researh it.

[maple3142]

About pjax, here has an userscript example implement a really basic approach to pjax.
https://gist.github.com/maple3142/d9c752cebfdd92a7edd1e59ea2cd2f6a
It works on https://almostover.ru/ and https://rainylog.com/

But it usually break some jquery plugin like scrollspy, velocity...

[LEAFERx]

Requesting for announcement feature, like a lighter post which doesn't have a single page but only on the main page to put some notices/info/states/updates/mood sharings.

[ivan-nginx]

@LEAFERx i a little bit don't understand what u mean, but u can add it to roadmap by yourself.

[maple3142]

How do you think about static MathJax?
Transform latex expression to svg in build time.

Should it be theme's feature or an independent hexo plugin?

Example: https://blog.maple3142.net/about/

[ivan-nginx]

@maple3142 cool! It seems this will load faster then Math* plugins!

Should it be theme feature or a independent hexo plugin?

I think this no matter, but also better will to separate this feature with external module or plugin. Do with your own opinion and for better:

• Speed
• Usability
• Compatability.

[baoang]

Will Next provide style kit for jekyll and hugo in the coming v7?

[maple3142]

@baoang I think it is impossible, or it needs too much change.
Why not use hexo, or use other jekyll/hugo theme?
If you need a jekyll theme, Simpleyyt/jekyll-theme-next is a port version of NexT theme.

[ivan-nginx]

@baoang @maple3142 maybe we can to ask developers like @Simpleyyt to join to main NexT organization and resume maintenance here?

[ChungZH]

I think the codeblock should have a variety of styles (but not highlight_theme)

[stevenjoezhang]

Other known issues:

• about .gitignore (https://github.com/theme-next/hexo-theme-next/issues/564 and https://github.com/theme-next/hexo-theme-next/issues/413)
  what about using git submodule?
• function getContentVisibilityHeight in source/js/src/utils.js, using $('.container').height() instead of $('#content').height(); (comments in #48)
  https://github.com/theme-next/hexo-theme-next/blob/aad86c9577445647c14fd05216aa043c9886f84b/source/js/src/utils.js#L267-L272

[JOduMonT]

I wonder when next team plan to move to bootstrap4 ?

[stevenjoezhang]

@jodumont It doesn't matter - NexT is not actually using bootstrap, except bootstrap: affix.js.

[JOduMonT]

@stevenjoezhang thanks for the hint

also I really love next theme it perform very well and it is outstanding
but when I compare it with this jekyll theme and I see how visually the theme and menu are clear; I'm kind of jealous.

Make the sidebar optional ?

also would be nice to being able to render page without the sidebar.

[ivan-nginx]

also would be nice to being able to render page without the sidebar.

title: ...
sidebar: false

[JOduMonT]

@stevenjoezhang @ivan-nginx Wow! now I scared to ask if is this theme is able to make coffee ;)

[jiangtj]

@ivan-nginx @stevenjoezhang Maybe we can manage issues in projects, not here.
And roadmap only as the main direction

[ivan-nginx]

@JiangTJ yes. Need to smoothly end Roadmap checkboxes here and move similar work to projects.
