Template Details
Horizon is a Jekyll template published by HanBnrd, positioned as a responsive personal website. Features listed in the README include: showing a QR code when the profile picture is clicked; the header background can use an image or a video; the layout adapts to computers, tablets, phones, and other devices.
Usage instructions for the template are placed on the User Guide page of the project wiki; the README itself does not expand on configuration details. For local running, the README gives two commands: first run bundle install, then run jekyll serve --livereload or bundle exec jekyll serve.
The README does not state the specific Jekyll or plugin versions the template depends on, nor does it provide deployment procedures, content structure, theme customization options, or authorization details beyond the license; apart from the MIT License and copyright information, there are no further technical stack or integration notes.

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.
