?? Improvements Roadmap ? jekyll-ledger-theme

Live demo: https://csswitch.github.io/jekyll-ledger-theme/

?? High Priority

  • Colour palette switcher ? implement ledger.accent config key to switch between green/navy/burgundy/slate at build time (CSS custom properties or Sass maps)
  • Pagination fix ? ledger summary bar entry count uses complex Liquid math; simplify and test with >10 posts
  • Add topics/tags to repo ? jekyll, jekyll-theme, github-pages, accounting, finance, cpa, ledger
  • Demo screenshot ? add screenshot.png for jekyllthemes.io submission

?? Medium Priority

  • Category / tag archive pages ? group posts by account category (Tax, Bookkeeping, etc.) with filtered ledger view
  • Search ? lightweight client-side search (lunr.js or similar) for financial content
  • Financial table shortcode ? add _includes/table.html partial for debit/credit accounting tables with auto-totals
  • Featured post ? highlight one post at top of ledger with a "Lead Article" badge
  • Related posts ? show 3 related entries at bottom of post by category
  • Dark mode ? dark variant using prefers-color-scheme (dark paper, light ink)

?? Low Priority / Nice to Have

  • RSS feed styling ? add XSL stylesheet to make the feed readable in browser
  • Reading progress bar ? thin green bar at top of page indicating scroll progress on posts
  • Table of contents ? auto-generated sidebar TOC for long posts (financial guides tend to be long)
  • Disclaimer include ? _includes/disclaimer.html for standard "not professional advice" footer on posts
  • PDF export button ? print-to-PDF trigger button on post pages
  • Netlify/Vercel deploy buttons ? one-click deploy badges in README

?? Theme-Specific Ideas

  • Ledger book cover page ? styled about page with firm logo area, like the front of an accounting ledger
  • Balance summary widget ? include to show running totals (e.g. "articles this year: 12 | categories: 5")
  • Fiscal year grouping on home ? option to group home page posts by year with FY header rows
  • "Closed books" badge ? configurable badge for archived/closed topic series

?? Packaging for Sale

  • Expand sample posts to 5+ (covering tax, GAAP, bookkeeping, practice management, fintech)
  • Add CHANGELOG.md
  • Add _config.yml with full comments explaining every option
  • Create Gumroad product listing with screenshots
  • Submit to jekyllthemes.io
