Hugo PaperMod2.0 is a Hugo theme based on Hugo PaperMod, itself based on hugo-paper. The goal of this project is to add native internet payment features, such as Bitcoin and Lightning capabilities, to the og theme.

This theme is very close Hugo PaperMod. Hence, most things stated in PaperMod's documentation should be applicable to PaperMod2.0, with minor refactor (for example, links might not be the same). I therefore choose to keep a copy of the original PaperMod README file on this repo as well.

• Lightning Address in meta tag (detected by browser extensions such as Alby)
• paybutton shortcode (seamlessly create donation buttons in your posts)
• Tippin.me and Zebedee svg icons (can be used as links to donation pages)

1. Install Hugo

brew install hugo

You can check installation with:

hugo version

2. Create a new website

hugo new site <your-website>

3. Get the theme for GitHub

git clone https://github.com/fanismichalakis/hugo-PaperMod2.0 themes/PaperMod2.0 --depth=1

OR

git submodule add https://github.com/fanismichalakis/hugo-PaperMod2.0 themes/PaperMod2.0 --depth=1

4. Add the theme in config

Add the following line in config.yml:

theme: "PaperMod2.0"

For a usage example, you can see my own website's repo.

Add the following line in the params section of your config.yml file:

lightningAddress: "[email protected]"

Some browser extensions will catch it and allow their users to directly send tips to this address.

Instead of having to write some HTML every time you want to put a donation button in your page, you can use the paybutton shortcode to do the same thing in one line. This is a 2 steps process:

1. Add the destination url (BTCPay Server invoice page, Tippin page, etc.) to the page's params:

---
title: "my blog post"
<...>
paybuttonlink: "your donation link"

---

2. Add the button where you want, as many times as you want:

{{<paybutton text=" 🎩⚡ Give Value Back " color="#1da1f2">}}

As you can see, you can customize the text displayed in the button, as well the color of the button. Putting the link in the page's params allows you to use a different link for each post (can be useful to see which posts people found value in, for example).

Huge shoutout to the Hugo devs, and to @adityatelange for PaperMod.

Thanks to @dergigi for paving the way of Value4Value.
