Template Details

Mr.Brown is a Jekyll blog theme published by artemsheludko on GitHub, with the repository described as a "responsive Jekyll theme". The theme is built with Jekyll and HTML, and is suitable for organizing content according to Jekyll's post and page mechanisms.

The integrations listed in the README include Google Fonts, Disqus, txtpen, Font Awesome, and social media links, which can be used for common blog features such as comments, fonts, and icons. The repository provides an online demo address and includes desktop and mobile homepage screenshots, allowing you to view the actual pages before deciding whether to use it.

Before use, you need to understand basic Jekyll concepts. The README recommends that readers unfamiliar with Jekyll consult jekyllrb.com and read the three documentation sections on front matter, writing posts, and creating pages. The repository was last updated in 2017 and does not provide dependency versions or build instructions, so the actual runtime environment needs to be verified independently.

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 Jekyll 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.
