Template Details

This template combines Next.js with IBM's Carbon Design System to provide a starting project structure. The README explains that it uses the App Router: the app/ directory contains the global stylesheet globals.scss (used to import the Carbon theme), the root layout layout.tsx, the landing page page.tsx, and the about page about/page.tsx. The components/ directory provides Header.tsx (a global page header with navigation), Footer.tsx (a footer with social links, resources, the IBM logo, and legal links), and ThemeToggle.tsx (a theme toggle component). public/ is used to store static assets. Regarding the tech stack, the README lists Next.js, TypeScript, Carbon Design System, Sass, Node.js, and npm as badges, but does not provide specific version numbers, nor does it describe testing, build artifacts, or deployment methods.

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.

What to verify for this project

Repository update recorded: 2026-10-13
Screenshot last checked: 2026-10-14

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.
