Template Details

This repository contains the source files for the directory.middlemanapp.com directory site, which showcases Middleman extensions, templates and services. The site itself is a static page generated by Middleman, and entry data is stored as individual files in the data/extensions directory. New extensions are added by creating a file in that directory and submitting a pull request.

Running locally requires cloning the repository and running bundle install, then starting the server with bundle exec middleman server at http://localhost:4567. The README does not describe the implementation of front-end interactions such as category filtering or search, nor does it explain the data field structure; these need to be confirmed by examining the actual files in the repository.

The repository is under the MIT license, with copyright 2013-2014 Karl Freeman. The last update was in 2022. The community forum and donation links mentioned in the README are external resources and are unrelated to the code license.

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
2022-06-21
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 HTML 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.
