HoverCraft is a free open source theme from LittleBizzy

The code is available on GitHub:

https://github.com/littlebizzy/hovercraft

You should install the Git Updater plugin, it’s free and HoverCraft supports it. There should be a WP Admin prompt if HoverCraft doesn’t detect Git Updater installed.

HoverCraft extends the philosophy of SlickStack, with the goal of encouraging free speech, portability, and stability, etc.

Philosophy

WordPress.org has a long history of censorship, favoritism, randomly banning or suspending plugins and themes when they have personal beef with the authors, and other drama

GitHub rocks

any serious FOSS developer should have their code there

you can also mirror your code to GitLab!

It’s not free anymore though… however, mirror GitLab to GitHub is still free.

SlickStack.io is now using the free HoverCraft theme FYI

[Linda]

the homepage hero options are pretty “slick” in HoverCraft!
