Phosphor

A CRT / terminal WordPress block theme — green-on-black, monospace, subtle scanlines. Minimal, fast, full-site-editing (FSE). Built for people who like their blog to look like a warm CRT terminal that's alive.

Phosphor (n.) — the glowing coating on the inside of a cathode-ray tube. The green afterglow.

Status

v0.1.0 — early. A clean, installable block-theme foundation extracted and generalized from a live personal site. No personal data, no API keys, no third-party services — pure GPL theme. The roadmap below tracks the road to a polished, sellable-grade product.

Install

  1. Download phosphor.zip from the Releases page.
  2. WordPress Admin → Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme → choose the ZIP → Activate.

Or clone and symlink the theme/ folder into wp-content/themes/phosphor.

Roadmap
