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.

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 HTML 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.

Source file / repository ## Custom micro.blog Theme This is a custom theme built as a test for migrating my newsletter [Everyone's Creative](https://www.everyonescreative.net/) off of Substack and onto [micro.blog](https://micro.blog/). You can see my rough plan for development and what I'm working on [here](https://kinopio.club/everyones-creative-micro-blog-theme-z50bM4rt8YXyn4rey2XJh). The theme is building off of my experience creating a custom theme for my personal site, [simonpeng.net](https://simonpeng.net), with new considerations in mind for trying to mimick some of the UX of the Substack homepage (and hopefully to improve it, too). This is currently just a test, but I'm hoping to move it forward and bail off of the increasingly enshittified Substack ASAP.
