Template Details

Minilog is a Hugo blog template published by Statichunt, with its code open-sourced under the MIT license. Built on Bootstrap, the template provides a clean blog layout. It is officially positioned for blogs and lifestyle, travel, and food content sites, and is also listed as suitable for corporate websites.

In terms of features, the template includes light and dark modes, Fuse.js site search, a contact form, multilingual support (French and English), single-author mode, and support for multiple analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Baidu Analytics, Counter, Matomo, and Plausible. It also enables GDPR consent and Open Graph and Twitter Card meta tags. On the build side, it uses Hugo Pipes to process images and bundle CSS and JS; colors and fonts can be adjusted in the configuration file, and Netlify and Forestry CMS configurations are included. The README also states that the template is preconfigured for Sitepins, a Git-based headless CMS.

Usage limitations: the template is single-author only and does not provide multi-author support; multilingual support lists only French and English; demo images are for display only, and their copyright is not granted along with the code's MIT license, so the licenses for fonts, icons, and other third-party assets must be checked independently. The PageSpeed scores mentioned in the README are measurements from a specific demo environment and do not represent performance after any deployment.

Usage conditions & limitations

Free to use · keep license notice

This entry covers the free version under the MIT license in the public repository; the free scope applies to that version's code and does not mean external services or third-party assets are free.

Must comply with when using

  • You may use, modify, commercialize, and distribute this version's code for free.
  • When distributing copies or substantial portions of the code, retain the original author's copyright notice and the full MIT license notice.
  • The code is provided as is; warranties and limitations of liability are governed by the original license and applicable law.

Additional costs & items to verify

  • Demo images are for display only and have their own separate licenses; the project cannot sublicense them. These images are not provided under the code's MIT license, so you must confirm and obtain the appropriate authorization before use.
  • The template is preconfigured for Sitepins, a third-party Git-based headless CMS; visual content editing requires using that external service, which may involve account registration and the provider's own terms and fees.
  • The template supports single-author mode only and does not provide multi-author or collaborative writing features.
  • Multilingual support lists only French and English; other languages must be added independently.
  • Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets must be checked against their respective licenses and cannot be judged solely by the code's MIT license.
  • External services such as domains, hosting, databases, payments, or AI may incur additional charges.

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 Hugo 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.
