Template Details
Limpid is a blog theme for Jekyll, positioned as a clean, minimal typographic style. The repository is released under the MIT License, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution, provided the copyright notice and license notice are retained when redistributed.
The theme covers common blogging needs: post pages provide sharing links for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and G+, integrate Disqus comments, use Prettify for JavaScript code highlighting, include Font Awesome icons, and contain an author bio block and profile area. Posts support feature images, and a source code download link is also provided.
In terms of usage, the README only states that cloning the repository is enough to get started, with no more detailed installation or configuration steps. The repository was last updated in 2017; the demo site and screenshots can serve as references for the result. The licenses for third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be checked separately and cannot be judged solely by the code's MIT 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.
