Template Details
This is a blog starter template for Gatsby. Content is written in Markdown, making it suitable as a starting point for a personal or small blog. The repository README lists features including: writing posts in Markdown, grouping posts by tag, using embeds within posts, archiving by year, and Prism-based code syntax highlighting.
Usage revolves around npm scripts: after installing dependencies, you can start a local environment with hot reload using the develop command (default port 8000), generate static files with the build command, preview the build result locally with the serve command, and additionally use clean to remove the .cache and public directories and format to run Prettier for code formatting.
The template itself does not include a content management backend or database; post data comes from Markdown files. The demo site is deployed on Netlify. The repository uses the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution, but third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate license verification, and external services like domains and hosting may incur additional charges.

Usage conditions & limitations
Free to use · keep license noticeThis entry covers the free version from a public repository under the MIT license; the free scope applies to that version's code 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.

Additional costs & items to verify
- This template is a starter for a Gatsby blog; content comes from Markdown files and it does not include a content management backend or database.
- The development environment listens on local port 8000 by default, and npm install must be run first to install dependencies.
- Static files must be generated via npm run build, then deployed to a hosting platform yourself.
- The build command must be run before local preview; serve is only for testing an already-built site.
- Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets require license verification 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 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.
