Template Details

Lime is a responsive theme that prioritizes reading experience, suitable for three scenarios: blogs, personal websites and API documentation. The repository lists three technology stacks—Jekyll, Hexo and plain HTML—indicating it can be used as a theme for static site generators or directly for HTML pages.

The theme emphasizes simplicity and readability, and states support for most modern browsers on PC and mobile. The demo site provided in the repository shows the actual effect of the desktop and mobile homepages, serving as a reference for typography and responsive behavior.

Regarding usage, the README does not expand installation steps within the repository but points to documentation on the official website. Therefore, specific configuration options, directory structure and integration methods for each generator need to be checked in that documentation. The repository does not provide a dependency list, so the range of supported framework versions cannot be confirmed from it.

For licensing, the source code is under the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, commercial use and distribution, provided that the copyright notice and license notice are retained when distributing. The licenses for third-party assets such as demo images, fonts and icons need to be verified separately, and external services such as domains and hosting may incur costs.

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 the code of this version and does not imply that 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

  • Installation and configuration instructions are not in the repository; you need to visit the official website https://lime-theme.github.io to consult the documentation. Before use, confirm that the external documentation site is accessible.
  • The README only states that it can be used with static site generators such as Jekyll and Hexo, without specifying version compatibility ranges; the repository has no dependency list, so before integration you need to verify compatibility with the version of the generator you use.
  • The MIT license covers only the source code; licenses for third-party assets such as demo images, fonts and icons need to be verified separately and should not be assumed to be freely usable.
  • Demo images, fonts, icons and other third-party assets need to be checked according to their respective licenses and cannot be judged solely based on the code's MIT license.
  • External services such as domains, hosting, databases, payments or AI may incur additional 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 Jekyll 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.
