Template Details
This is a personal blog website template. The repository is maintained by codebucks27, built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS, and uses Velite to process Markdown article content. The template provides pages such as home, about, contact and blog articles. The demo site is deployed on Vercel, and the repository includes a YouTube tutorial link, making it suitable as a starting point for learning or building a personal blog.
The repository notes mention that the tutorial video uses Contentlayer, but because Contentlayer is no longer actively maintained, the current main branch has switched to Velite.js; if you need the Contentlayer version, you can switch to the Contentlayer branch. The README also records the 2026 dependency updates: the package manager was changed to Bun, and dependencies such as Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS, ESLint and Shiki were upgraded. Velite now runs through predev / prebuild scripts, and dynamic routes were migrated to async params. The old version code before the update is kept in git history and can be used by checking out the corresponding commit.
In terms of usage scope, the code is MIT licensed, allowing free use, modification, commercial use and distribution, but the copyright notice and license notice must be retained. The demo images in the template come from Unsplash, fonts from Google Fonts, icons from Iconify, and the contact page animation from LottieFiles. These third-party assets must be checked separately under their respective licenses and cannot be judged solely by the code's MIT license.

Getting started & customization
Use these recorded setup notes alongside the repository instructions for your chosen version.
- 1
The current main branch uses Bun as the package manager; the install and run commands are bun install, bun dev, bun run build
- 2
Velite runs through predev / prebuild scripts, rather than the old webpack plugin approach
- 3
If you need the Contentlayer version, switch to the repository's Contentlayer branch
- 4
If you need the old dependency versions from before the update, check out the git commit before the 2026 update
- 5
Third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, icons and animations must be checked separately under their respective licenses
License & source material
Usage conditions & limitations
Free to use · keep license noticeThis entry covers the free version of the public repository under the MIT license; the free scope is the code of this version and does not mean that external services or third-party assets are free.
Must comply with when using
- Free use, modification, commercial use and distribution of this version's code are allowed.
- When distributing copies or substantial portions of the code, retain the original author's copyright notice and the complete 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 main branch has migrated from Contentlayer to Velite.js for processing Markdown; if you need the Contentlayer version, you must switch to the repository's Contentlayer branch, as the main branch no longer contains that implementation.
- The current main branch requires Bun as the package manager; the install, development and build commands are bun install, bun dev, bun run build respectively, and using npm/yarn may not run as documented.
- Velite runs through predev / prebuild scripts because Turbopack does not support the old webpack plugin approach, and the build process depends on this script configuration.
- The old version code before the update is only kept in git history; you need to check out the specified commit (such as 186f9ee) to use the original Next.js 15 + Tailwind v3 + ESLint 9 configuration.
- The role images on the about page come from Bing search and are third-party assets; you must verify the source and authorization yourself and cannot use them solely under the code's MIT license.
- The Lottie animation on the contact page comes from LottieFiles and its usage conditions must be checked separately under that platform's license.
- Fonts come from Google Fonts and must be checked separately under each font's license; they cannot be judged solely by the code's MIT license.
- Icons come from Iconify and their usage conditions must be checked separately under each icon set's license.
- Images used in the blog all come from third-party sources such as Unsplash and must be checked separately under their respective licenses; they cannot be used solely under the code's MIT license.
- Demo images, fonts, icons and other third-party assets must be checked under their respective licenses and cannot be judged solely by the code's MIT license.
- External services such as domains, hosting, databases, payments or AI may incur additional charges.

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.
