Template Details

This is the source code repository for Marvin Lin's personal website (marvinlin.me), using Jekyll as the static site generator, with pages written in HTML. In the README, the author states that he is a high school student based in Portland, Oregon, focusing on mechanical engineering, with an interest in software and web development; the site is used to showcase personal projects and blog posts. The README also explicitly notes that the website was then used as a testing ground for learning HTML/CSS/jQuery, so the content and structure may be in an experimental state. The repository is under the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version of the code, but third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate verification of their respective licenses.

  • The code is provided as is; warranties and limitations of liability are governed by the original license and applicable law.

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.
