The Chromate theme is a new Hexo theme with support for Podcasts.
It has the following feature:
  • Simple and Lightweight: There are no redundant setting items, no references to a large number of third-party libraries, which ensures that it can be loaded and displayed as soon as possible.
  • Responsive: The theme is built on the Bulma CSS framework, which ensures that it can be displayed normally and beautifully on most devices.
  • Full Support for Podcasts: Without too much configuration, you can easily publish a Podcast (details below ).

Then you can get:
      2. Different homepage guide buttons
      For common types of post, you can see the Continue Reading guide button on the homepage; for a Podcast, Listen Now will be displayed.
      2. Automatically generated audio player
      For Podcast post, you only need to fill in the Meta meta information according to the format, and a player will be automatically generated in the article (Special thanks to Shikwasa!).
      If you completed chapters field, the audio player will also shown with Chapters List :)
      2. Rendering of meta-information inner article
      After you fill in the Meta information, you can use the following tags to call the automatically rendered author information, citation information, and timeline:
          • Timeline
          {% timeline %}
          • References
          {% references %}
          • Authors
          {% authors %}
      2. Automatically generated RSS subscription
      We know that RSS is important for podcasts, but configuring them manually is a boring thing, so in Chromate, you only need to fill in the configuration file, and the RSS subscription will be automatically generated.
      Important: If you want to open support for auto generating rss with podcasts, please install a plugin manually under your Hexo project folder:
      npm install podcast --save
