Template Details

TextLog is a Jekyll theme hosted on GitHub. The author positions it as "minimalist, lefty-style," intended for blogs organized in a documentation-like format. The repository includes a demo site where you can see the actual layout of the homepage and inner pages.

The theme is released under the MIT license. The code can be used, modified, used commercially, and distributed for free, but third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate license checks. The README is brief, providing only the theme's positioning, demo address, and license information. It does not list dependencies, build steps, or configuration instructions, so specific installation and customization methods must be based on the repository files.

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.
