Template Details

Liva was originally a blog theme created by Gethugothemes for Hugo, and this project was ported to Next.js by Art Abramov, preserving its minimal, clean design style. The template targets blog scenarios such as personal, travel, news, photography, technology, and food, and provides more than 6 preset pages: About page, post list page, post detail page, category list page, category detail page, and contact page. The tech stack is Next.js, React, TypeScript, Bootstrap 5, and MDX, and it uses Biome instead of ESLint and Prettier for formatting and code checking.

Local development runs the dev script via npm, yarn, or pnpm, and previews on port 3000 by default; the page entry is app/page.tsx, which updates automatically after editing. The project uses next/font to load the Inter font.

The code is released under the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution, but the copyright and license notice must be retained. Demo images are for display only, their copyright does not belong to the project, and they must be verified independently; external services such as domains and hosting may incur additional costs.

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 Next.js 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.

## Overview

Originally Liva was created as a blog template for Hugo by [Gethugothemes](https://gethugothemes.com).

I loved its minimal, clean, and modern design and decided to port it to the [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) to make it more accessible to the community.

It is a simple yet powerful template that is easy to use and customize.

## Removal of Eslint and Prettier

This project uses [Biome](https://biomejs.dev) for formatting and linting.

I found out that Biome gives the same functionality as Eslint and Prettier but in a more modern and efficient way.

It's faster and easier to use - you don't need to configure anything, just run `npx @biomejs/biome init` and you're good to go.

Eslint and Prettier with their configuration files and plugins on this project provided the same functionality as Biome does out of the box.

I completely removed Eslint and Prettier from the project and plan to use Biome in the future for all my projects.


## 🔧Local development

First, run the development server:

```bash
npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev
```

Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying `app/page.tsx`. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

This project uses [`next/font`](https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/font-optimization) to automatically optimize and load Inter, a custom Google Font.
