Template Details
hexo-theme-overdose is a Hexo blog theme hosted on GitHub (HyunSeob/hexo-theme-overdose), under the MIT license, with a demo site at hyunseob.github.io. The theme is positioned as minimalist and simple, and the README explicitly states it is specifically for Korean-language blogs.
In terms of features, the theme provides a responsive design and does not depend on libraries such as jQuery or underscore.js; it includes multiple built-in code highlighting themes, with Dracula as the default; it supports font settings, with options for noto-sans-kr, spoqa-han-sans-kr, and spoqa-han-sans-jp; for SEO it provides canonical links and Schema.org markup; it can integrate Google Analytics, Google Site Verification, Naver Site Verification, Disqus, and LiveRe comments; it also includes related posts, a dynamic hide/show menu (marked as unstable in the README), and sharing to Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Pocket.
For usage, the theme is installed by git clone into themes/overdose; templates use pug, and hexo-renderer-jade must be installed instead of hexo-renderer-pug; you need to copy _config.yml.example to _config.yml and set theme: overdose in the site root configuration. Posts can set a banner image via the banner property in front matter. Disqus's shortname must be written in the site root configuration rather than the theme configuration, while LiveRe requires filling in the uid in the theme configuration.
Limitations and notes: the README's To Do lists i18n, Facebook Comments, and Featured posts as not yet implemented; the dynamic menu feature is marked as unstable; the repository was last updated in 2018, and the browser compatibility statement covers Chrome, Edge, IE 10+, Firefox, Safari, Android Browser, and iOS Safari.

Usage conditions & limitations
Free to use · keep license noticeThis entry covers the free version in the public repository under the MIT license; the free scope is the code of that version and does not mean external services or third-party assets are free.
Must comply with when using
- Free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version's code are permitted.
- When distributing copies or substantial portions of the code, retain the original author's copyright notice and the full MIT license notice.
- The code is provided as is; warranties and limitations of liability are governed by the original license and applicable law.
Additional costs & items to verify
- The theme uses pug templates and requires the hexo-renderer-jade renderer; the README explicitly advises against using hexo-renderer-pug, otherwise it will not work properly.
- When installing dependencies, only hexo-renderer-jade can be used; using hexo-renderer-pug will prevent it from running, which is a mandatory technical dependency limitation.
- Enabling Disqus comments requires providing your own disqus_shortname and writing it into the site root configuration rather than the theme configuration, which is an external service account requirement.
- Enabling LiveRe comments requires registering for that external service and obtaining a uid to fill in the theme configuration, which is an external service account and configuration requirement.
- The dynamic hide/show menu feature is marked as unstable in the README; using this feature may cause unexpected issues.
- i18n internationalization, Facebook Comments, and Featured posts are all listed in the To Do and are not yet implemented, so they cannot be used as existing features.
- Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets must be checked against their respective licenses and cannot be judged solely by the code's MIT license.
- External services such as domains, hosting, databases, payments, or AI may incur additional charges.
