Template Details
shinayaka is a Jekyll blog theme published by ellekasai. The repository description explicitly marks it as [Unmaintained], and its last update was in 2013. The theme's demo site is ellekasai.com. The repository README is very short, providing only a demo link, a screenshot, and pointing to the GitHub Wiki page for specific usage instructions.
Because the README does not provide installation steps, a dependency list, or configuration instructions, you need to read the project Wiki first before actual use and confirm its compatibility with the current Jekyll version yourself. The code is released under the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution, but the licensing of third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be checked separately.

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.
