What stands out
A quick read of the recorded project description.
The homepage, publications, news, and CV are maintained separately by Markdown and HTML files in the _pages directory
Publications, patents, and software copyrights are rendered from YAML data files in the _data directory, so updates do not require template changes
Publication data is divided into display sections via the category field (first, corresponding, other)
The homepage visitor map requires registration with MapMyVisitors and a key to be enabled; clustrmaps_id serves as a fallback
Two local preview methods are provided: bundle and Docker Compose
Template Details
This repository is Haotian Wang's personal academic homepage, built on the Academic Pages / Minimal Mistakes Jekyll template and written in HTML and Markdown. The page structure includes the homepage (_pages/about.md), publication list (_pages/publications.html), news (_pages/talks.html), and CV (_pages/cv.md). Site configuration is centralized in _config.yml, custom styles are in assets/css/main.scss, and the homepage effects script is assets/js/homepage-effects.js.
Publications, patents, and software copyrights are rendered from the data files _data/publications.yml, _data/patents.yml, and _data/software.yml, so routine updates do not require modifying page templates. In publications.yml, the category field (first, corresponding, other) controls which section a publication belongs to. The homepage also includes a visitor map area; to enable the real map, you must register the site with MapMyVisitors and enter the key after d= into the visitors configuration item in _config.yml. clustrmaps_id is still retained as a fallback.
Local preview requires Jekyll: run bundle install and bundle exec jekyll serve, then visit http://127.0.0.1:4000/. If Ruby/Jekyll is not installed locally, you can use the repository's Docker configuration and start it with docker compose build and docker compose up. The repository is deployed in the GitHub Pages style. Before publishing, verify that title and affiliation information and publication metadata match Google Scholar / DBLP / publisher pages, and confirm that no private contact information or undisclosed project details have been added.

- External services such as domains, hosting, databases, payments, or AI may incur additional charges.
- The homepage visitor map feature requires registering the site with the third-party service MapMyVisitors first; it is an external service dependency and cannot be enabled locally on its own.

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 HTML 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.
