Template Details
Monolume is a portfolio theme built with Astro, aimed at developers, designers, and freelancers showcasing personal work. It emphasizes minimal yet striking typography, with an overall style leaning toward brutalist and developer-oriented clean design.
The theme provides two content collections: projects and blog. Pages include home, about, contact, blog list and detail, project list and detail, and a 404 page. The components directory includes Hero, About, Contact, Projects, Posts, Card, Header, Footer, and more, making it easy to replace content according to page structure.
On the technical side, the README lists Astro, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, and uses pnpm as the package management command. Content is managed through the blog and projects directories under src/content, with collections defined in content.config.ts.
Regarding licensing, the repository uses the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version of the code; when distributing, the copyright notice and the full MIT license text must be retained. Third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons need their licenses checked separately, and external services like domains and hosting 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.

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 Astro 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.
