The upstream template includes FAQ documentation for troubleshooting common issues
Released under the MIT license, with standard license text included in the repository
Template Details
This is the source code repository for rafaelcpalmeida's personal website, built on Sérgio Kopplin's Indigo Minimalist Jekyll template and released under the MIT license. The repository itself does not include standalone template documentation; the README content mainly comes from the upstream Indigo template and describes its structure, setup, and usage.
Technically, the project uses Jekyll to generate a static site, styles are written in Sass, and icons and graphics use SVG. The README explicitly states that the pages do not rely on JavaScript. The template provides configurable options for profile, projects, pages, reading time, tags, related posts, animations, multiple authors, and more; the specific fields must be filled in _config.yml.
Regarding usage constraints, local preview requires installing Jekyll, NodeJS, and Bundler, and building and serving via bundle commands; the testing step uses htmlproofer to check the generated _site directory. The Travis build status and Google Speed score mentioned in the upstream README are the original template author's records and do not represent the actual running results of this repository. Third-party assets such as demo images in the repository need separate license verification.

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.
