# Ghost Theme: Thred-Inspired

This repository contains a Ghost theme scaffold inspired by the `Thred` reference layout.

## Included

- Three-column editorial shell
- Left sidebar navigation with categories and authors
- Sticky top search trigger with local search overlay
- Homepage hero with tabbed content sections
- Tag and author archive pages
- Post template with membership CTA and comments area
- Light and dark theme toggle

## Upload to Ghost

1. Zip the theme files.
2. Upload the zip in Ghost Admin under `Settings -> Design -> Change theme`.
3. Configure navigation, tags, authors, site icon, and custom footer links in Ghost Admin.

## Local development

1. Run `npm run dev:ghost:start`
2. Open `http://localhost:2368/ghost` and complete the local Ghost setup
3. Activate the `ghost-theme-thred-clone` theme in `Settings -> Design`
4. After theme changes, run `npm run dev:ghost:restart`
5. To add local sample categories and posts, run `npm run dev:seed` and import the generated JSON file from Ghost Admin

The local Docker setup syncs only theme-related files into `.docker/theme/ghost-theme-thred-clone`, so work files such as `docs/` or `local-ghost/` do not slow down Ghost startup.

## Important note

The layout closely follows the provided reference, but Ghost content, membership, comments, and recommendation data depend on the site configuration and content model inside your Ghost installation.
