Template Details

This template is a personal portfolio and blog site. The pages listed in the README include Home (personal introduction and interests), Project (a collection of past projects), and Blog (blog posts), and it provides a light/dark mode toggle. The README explicitly states the tech stack as Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Headless-UI, and Gray-Matter. Blog content is rendered from Markdown files. For deployment, it mentions that Vercel can be used, and notes that if GitHub Pages is adopted, GitHub Actions can be configured to automatically deploy on pushes to the main branch.

Local running steps are to clone the repository, run yarn install to install dependencies, run yarn dev to start the development server, and then visit http://localhost:3000. For customization, the README requires adding projects and their details in the assets directory following the examples, managing the homepage skills section by modifying skills.ts in assets, and adding blog posts by creating new files in the form of example.md in the posts folder within assets. The README does not provide page component structure, routing details, SEO configuration, testing methods, or production environment considerations, and does not document interactive features other than the light/dark toggle.

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 Next.js 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.
