I made a Zola theme and now you have to deal with it

A monospaced-by-default, javascript-optional Zola theme. Two consumer sites running on it, two personas, one shared engine. Here is what shipped in v1 and the part that took six rewrites.

The opinionated, javascript-optional Zola theme that powers this site and timsiggins.com. Two sites, two personas, one engine. About 35kb per page, no build step in the consumer repo.
