Template Details
Published on GitHub by Niceeepoiu under the MIT license, mare-blog is a personal blog template built with Astro. It divides content into three categories: regular blog posts, timeline-style log entries, and standalone pages, making it suitable for hosting both long-form articles and short records. The site generates static pages at build time and by default ships no client-side JavaScript; during production builds, Pagefind generates the full-text search index. Styling uses Tailwind CSS, with light and dark modes and responsive adaptation. Comments are optional and integrated through Giscus with GitHub Discussions. The template includes a configuration and usage guide covering site settings, Giscus configuration, and content publishing. Local development requires Node.js 22.12.0 or later and pnpm; the development server runs on port 4321 by default. Before publishing, site information and integration settings must be filled in site.config.ts. The README's deployment path is Cloudflare Pages, with the build command pnpm build and the output directory dist.

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.
