Template Details
Point is a Jekyll theme released by the author katmh for building simple, direct personal websites, with a design based on an earlier version of katmh.com. The theme provides a responsive layout that displays properly on both desktop and mobile, and all pages are written in Markdown, making them easy to edit and write.
Usage involves forking the repository and modifying it yourself: you need to customize _config.yml, and you can adjust colors and fonts in styles/styles.scss. The repository includes an online preview site and screenshots of the desktop homepage, mobile homepage, and a blog inner page.
The theme is under the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of the code, but third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate license verification; external services like domains and hosting may incur additional charges. The README does not list specific dependency versions or describe production environment performance.

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.
