Lector (Ghost Themes)

Lector is a Ghost theme seriously optimized for reading.

Features

Responsive

Go from one screen size to the other – and Lector will go with you. Your mobile readers will have a great reading experience on their commute or while waiting for the bus.

Asynchronous page loading

Pages are asynchronously loaded, so there is no page reloading. The URL is updated through HTML5 history. This all makes for a faster and smoother experience.

Featured images

The first image added to the top of a post becomes the featured image, it’s that simple.

Search

Search is powered by Tapirus. After a simple setup, Lector is ready to be searched. Readers can search for any specific post they would like to revisit.

Comments

For comments, you can choose between Disqus, Livefyre and Google+. They’re all three integrated and all you have to do is fill in two settings to enable commenting.

Social sharing

Social sharing buttons at the end of the post encourage the reader to share their find and bring you more social traffic. Sharing is enabled through AddThis, so after you’ve setup your account, you get access extended social sharing statistics.

Syntax highlighting

If you’re a developer or enjoy sharing the casual piece of code, Prism brings some much needed color.

Next posts

At the end of the current post, you can go to the next post. This encourages the reader to read more of your work. Currently, this feature is limited to the 15 most recent posts.

Responsive video

All YouTube, Vimeo, Kickstarter, Viddler or Blip.tv videos you embed, either through Embedly or by pasting the embed code directly inside the post are responsive.

Embedly ready

If you have a free or premium Embedly account, you can embed video and other media by simply pasting the URL inside the post editor. Easy peasy lemon squeezy …

Custom error page

Lector includes a friendly custom error page that overrides the default Ghost error page and fits the design of the theme.

Reading time

Each posts includes a reading time estimation so that your readers know if they have enough time to start reading and finish the post.

Ghost 0.4 ready

Lector supports Ghost 0.4 and includes a template for static pages. The sidebar contains the navigation menu where you can add links to pages (by editing default.hbs).
