LVGL blog

Writing a blog post about your experiences

Have you ported LVGL to a new platform? Have you created a fancy GUI? Do you know a great trick? You can share your knowledge on LVGL's blog! It's super easy to add your own post:

• Fork and clone the blog repository
• Add your post in Markdown to the _posts folder.
• Store the images and other resources in a dedicated folder in assets
• Create a Pull Request

Installing and Running Jekyll

The blog uses Jekyll to convert the .md files to a webpage. You can easily run Jekyll offline to check your post before creating the Pull request.
A specific version of Bundle is needed for running Jekyll (1.12).

Here is a step-by-step guide for installing Ruby and Jekyll, building and serving the blog.

Please run these commands under blog directory.
