Template Details

This repository is the source code for the ryanjordan.me personal website. The README states its tech stack is Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Upstash and Contentlayer, deployed to Vercel. The README also provides a Vercel deploy button, whose description calls it a portfolio site with a page view counter, using the Next.js 13 App Router, Contentlayer and Upstash Redis.

The local run steps are: clone the repository, enter the directory, create a .env file following .env.example, then install dependencies with pnpm install and start the development server with pnpm dev. The README explicitly reminds you to remove the author's personal information (projects, images, etc.) before deploying your own version.

Beyond the above, the README does not provide page structure, content models, routing, style customization, specific environment variable fields, or post-deployment configuration details.

Usage conditions & limitations

Free to use · keep license notice

This entry covers the free version under the MIT license in the public repository; the free scope is that version's code 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

  • Demo images, fonts, icons and other third-party assets must be checked against their respective licenses; the code's MIT license alone does not determine this.
  • External services such as domains, hosting, databases, payments or AI may incur separate charges.
  • Local running requires creating a .env file following .env.example, meaning you must configure environment variables yourself (such as credentials for external services like Upstash) for it to start properly.
  • Before deploying your own version, you must remove all of the author's personal information (projects, images, etc.) and cannot publish it as is.

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
2023-09-06
Screenshot last checked

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 Next.js 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.
