I would very much like to see a Hugo port of al-folio. Thanks for proposing it here, I didn't think there might be many people interested in this.

I would very much like to collaborate to port al-folio to Hugo. If you are open to it, we could start working on a proof of concept to see how many people are actually interested in it.

After some efforts I have ported the skeleton structure of the al-folio theme to Hugo. Here is the repository: https://github.com/rohandebsarkar/academic-folio. And here is a preview: https://rohandebsarkar.github.io/academic-folio/

There is one major change, i.e., I have dropped Bootstrap in favor of Tailwind CSS. I did this because Bootstrap was very heavy in size and it was quite difficult to update it to a major version (see #741).

@alshedivat dependencies is a concern for me as well, I do not yet know how to add dependencies (if they are available).

If any one wants maintain this Hugo port of al-folio (placeholder name academic-folio) in the long run just drop a comment on this post, I shall get back in touch with you.
