 Blog](https://bearblog.dev) and [Hugo Bear
 Blog](https://github.com/janraasch/hugo-bearblog).
 
+This is a fork of [Bear Cub](https://github.com/clente/hugo-bearcub) with the
+following additions:
+
+- **Anonymous post upvoting**: each post can display an upvote button backed by
+  a configurable API endpoint. Votes are tracked anonymously via cookies so
+  readers can toggle their vote without creating an account. Enable with
+  `upvotes = true` and set `upvoteApi` to your API base URL.
+- **Redesigned header**: the site header now uses a mesh SVG background for a
+  more distinctive look.
+- **GitHub light/dark color scheme**: the syntax highlighting palette has been
+  replaced with colors matching the GitHub light and dark themes.
+- **Herman CSS upvote styles**: upvote button styles are bundled into the Herman
+  CSS variant so the button integrates cleanly with the existing theme.
+- **Configurable index post count**: use `postsToShowOnIndex` in `[params]` to
+  control how many posts appear on the home page (defaults to 3).
+
 **Bear Cub** takes care of speed and optimization, so you can focus on writing
 good content. It is free, multilingual, optimized for search engines,
 no-nonsense, responsive, light, and fast. Really fast.
