Synthwave Theme: A retro-futuristic 80s Theme for Grav CMS

I sent this on the discord server but I’m copying the info here:

Just dropped my first GRAV theme.
Synthwave: A retro-futuristic 80s Theme for Grav CMS.

It’s a fun little project I built purely for the joy of learning theme development!
It’s got a retro-futuristic vibe I love, with some advanced features like ajax browsing for seamless audio, and now I’m diving into creating the matching skeleton to release soon.

Live demo: https://drdroid.fr/synthwave/
GitHub repo: DrDroid-FR/grav-theme-synthwave.

Feedback welcome
