Template Details
Minimalism is a minimalist blog theme for Hexo; both the repository and the demo site take "simple, clean, focused on article content" as their design starting point. The theme offers dark and light modes, and pages have responsive layouts on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
In implementation, the theme uses only CSS and pure vanilla JavaScript, does not depend on third-party libraries such as jQuery, and does not introduce additional render-blocking libraries. The theme includes a distinctive category archive page and integrates the Gitalk comment module and Google Analytics. At the content level, it supports Markdown emoji syntax, and tags use semantic markup to help search engines understand the page structure.
The theme is released under the MIT license and may be used, modified, used commercially, and distributed free of charge; when distributing, the copyright notice and license notice must be retained. The licensing of third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be verified separately; external services such as domains and hosting may incur costs. For installation and configuration, see the official documentation site.

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.
