FixIt
🔧 A clean, elegant but advanced blog theme for Hugo 一个简洁、优雅且高效的 Hugo 主题
The Lens
FixIt is a Hugo theme that gives your static site dark mode, multilingual support, search, and a dozen optional integrations without writing any frontend code. Your blog ends up as plain HTML files served from anywhere, no database, no server-side rendering. MIT licensed, fully free.
Install runs through Hugo Modules or a git submodule. Configuration is TOML or YAML: pick a comment system, an analytics provider, a search backend. Plays nicely with paid services like Algolia if you want them, but free alternatives work fine (fuse.js, giscus). Ships with PWA support, an AI summary feature, and built-in handling for the most common comment systems.
Solo blog or company devblog, this is one of the better Hugo themes right now. Install it, configure once, move on. Compare to PaperMod if you want something more minimal.
The catch: it's maintained by one person. Active maintenance, but the bus factor is one. If the maintainer steps back, you own whatever customizations you made.
Free vs Self-Hosted vs Paid
fully freeFree tier
Fully free and MIT licensed. No paid tier, no cloud version, no premium add-ons.
Self-hosted
This is a Hugo theme, so "self-hosted" just means hosting your Hugo site (Netlify free tier, Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, or your own server). The theme adds zero infrastructure cost. Third-party integrations may have their own pricing: Algolia search has a free tier up to 10K records, giscus is free, Disqus is free with ads.
Paid
None.
Fully free and MIT licensed. The only cost is whatever you pay to host the Hugo site, which can be $0.
