Template Details

This is a starter template for building a pre-launch teaser page for a website, based on Gatsby and React. The README states its purpose is to retain visitors and collect potential customer leads during a website redesign. The page core consists of three parts: customizable title and description text, an animated countdown timer, and a registration/subscription form.

Customization is straightforward: modify the title, text, and set the countdown time in index.js, and replace the background image in layout.css. The countdown is configured through the Timer component's date and time properties, for example date="10/31/2018" time="19.00".

For deployment, the README provides two paths: use the Firebase CLI (after yarn build, upload via firebase login, firebase init, firebase deploy), or connect a Git repository through Netlify and change the build command to yarn build. The repository uses the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution, but copyright and license notices must be retained; the Firebase integration mentioned in the README requires self-configuration and verification of quotas and charges, and the licenses for third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be confirmed separately.

License & source material

Usage conditions & limitations

Free to use · keep license notice

This entry covers the free version under the MIT license in the public repository; the free scope applies to that version's code and does not mean external services or third-party assets are free.

Must comply with when using

  • Free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of that version's code are permitted.
  • When distributing copies or substantial portions of the code, retain the original author's copyright notice and the full MIT license notice.
  • The code is provided as is; warranties and limitations of liability are governed by the original license and applicable law.

Additional costs & items to verify

  • The README mentions Firebase integration; before enabling related dynamic features, configure it yourself and verify Firebase quotas and charges.
  • Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets must be checked against their respective licenses; the code's MIT license alone cannot be used to judge them.
  • External services such as domains, hosting, databases, payments, or AI may incur separate charges.
  • Firebase tools are required only when hosting the site on Firebase; if not using Firebase Hosting, that dependency is not needed.
  • The Firebase deployment path requires the Firebase CLI and runs firebase login, firebase init, firebase deploy in sequence, involving a Firebase account and external services.
  • The Netlify deployment path requires registering a Netlify account (can sign in with GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket or email), which is an external service account requirement.

How this score is calculated

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.

The catalog identifies Gatsby as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.
