Template Details
Vibefolio is a Jekyll theme created by the author for a personal website, positioned as a text-focused portfolio. The homepage displays a short introduction and lists recent projects in reverse chronological order, along with links to sample projects. Project content is stored as Markdown files in the _projects directory, while site configuration and homepage copy are edited in _config.yml and index.md respectively. The author notes that the theme was originally built only for their own personal website, so it does not include additional pages such as a blog, contact page, or about page; whether these features are added later depends on updates to the author's personal website, and there are currently no specific plans or timelines. The theme version is v0.1.3.

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.
