Template Details

This template is a minimal blog template officially released by microCMS, with the repository at scout-ai/nextjs-simple-blog-template. The README states that it requires Node.js 18 or higher. Before use, you need to create a .env file in the project root and fill in three environment variables: MICROCMS_API_KEY, MICROCMS_SERVICE_DOMAIN, and BASE_URL, corresponding to the microCMS API key, service domain, and deployment address, respectively.

The development workflow is to install dependencies, run the development server, and access the local address in a browser. The README also explains how to configure preview screen for the blog API in the microCMS admin panel to preview draft content; for deployment, it provides steps to deploy via Vercel by linking the repository and registering environment variables. The README does not provide page structure, style details, content model fields, or other integrations beyond microCMS.

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.

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.
