03

Template Details

vitepress-theme-default-plus is a VitePress theme maintained by the Lando team, positioned as adding extra functionality and capabilities on top of the VitePress default theme. The repository description reads "The VitePress Default Theme with a little more POWAH," and the README states that it "extends the default VitePress theme with some extra power and features."

The project provides a standalone documentation site with sections including Overview, Installation, Usage, Configuration, Guides, and Development, indicating it targets developers who need to configure and reuse it. The repository also maintains a CHANGELOG and GitHub Releases, and publishes to the npm registry via GitHub Release with semver tags, with pre-release versions pushed to the edge tag.

Regarding licensing, the repository uses the MIT license, permitting free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version of the code, provided the copyright notice and full MIT license notice are retained when distributing. The README does not list a specific inventory of added features; specific capabilities require consulting its documentation site. The licensing of third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be verified separately.

License & source material

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 applies to this version of the code and does not imply that external services or third-party assets are free.

Must comply with when using

  • Permits free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version of the code.
  • 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

  • Community support is primarily provided through Lando's Slack channel, and joining that Slack via an external link is required to get community help; this is an optional community support channel, not a mandatory condition for using the theme.
  • Publishing a new version requires creating a release with a semver tag on GitHub and relies on the npm registry and GitHub Releases process; this is a requirement of the maintainers' publishing workflow, and ordinary users installing and using the theme are not subject to this restriction.
  • Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets must be verified under 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 separate charges.

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 VitePress 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.
