Template Details

rocketdocs is a Gatsby theme project published by developer jpedroschmitz for building documentation websites. The repository splits the theme into two packages: gatsby-theme-docs-core provides the data structures required for a documentation website, while gatsby-theme-docs builds on it to provide a directly usable documentation site theme. The README states that its design was inspired by LekoArts Gatsby themes and Apollo Gatsby themes.

The repository is released under the MIT license, permitting free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version of the code, provided the copyright notice and license notice are retained when distributing. The code is provided as is. A demo site is deployed on Vercel and can serve as a reference for the result.

Note that the repository was last updated at the end of 2023. The README does not list specific dependency versions or state the maintenance status in production environments. Licensing for third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be verified separately, and external services such as domains and hosting may incur additional costs.

Template Information

Source platforms: GitHub
Documentation and maintenance reference score: More documented · 76 / 100
Technologies: Gatsby · React
Website type: Documentation

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.

What to verify for this project

Repository update recorded: 2023-12-31
Screenshot last checked: 2026-10-02

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 Gatsby 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.
