Template Details

beNice17 is a Jekyll theme published by vietanhdev. The repository describes it as "very lightweight, simple, and responsive," intended for personal websites and blogs; the author also uses it to build their own personal site. The theme provides interfaces such as a homepage, menu, post list, large-image page header, code highlighting, and a search page, and the screenshots cover these pages.

Usage is fairly manual: fork the repository to your own GitHub account, rename the repository to <username>.github.io, then modify settings such as the site address in _config.yml. Menu items are adjusted in /html_includes/head/topbar-menu.html, after which the site is accessed via <username>.github.io. The README recommends referring to the official Jekyll documentation for the remaining configuration and provides an email address as a support channel.

Repository information shows that updates stopped in 2022 and the star count is low; the materials do not specify dependency versions, build process, or the theme's maintenance status, so compatibility with the current Jekyll version must be checked independently before use. The code is under the MIT license and may be used, modified, used commercially, and distributed for free, but third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require 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.

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 Jekyll 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.
