Template Details

Jam is a minimalist personal blog and portfolio theme for Hugo. The README explains that it is powered by Hugo, has a clean design, uses a responsive layout, and provides styles as inline CSS and uses Sass. The theme includes an Atom feed and handles SEO, covering Twitter cards, Facebook Open Graph, and Schema.org. The README specifically notes "No JS", meaning it contains no JavaScript.

The README does not provide installation steps, configuration option descriptions, a dependency list, Hugo version requirements, example content structure, or deployment methods, so these aspects cannot be confirmed from the available information. The preview screenshots only indicate the existence of desktop and mobile page screenshots and cannot be used to infer specific page functionality.

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 Hugo 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.
