What is athena-personal-academic-page?

Athena is a website template for researchers who want a personal academic homepage. It is built with React and Vite, two common JavaScript tools for building websites, and is designed to be deployed for free on GitHub Pages (a hosting service that GitHub provides to its users). The end result is a single-page website with a profile sidebar, a publication list, and sections for projects, news, teaching, talks, awards, and service. The main idea is that all your personal content lives in a small set of JavaScript files inside the src/content/ folder: one for your profile, one for your publications list, one for projects, and a few others. You edit those files with your own information, and the website builds automatically from that data. Publication charts showing yearly counts and topic distributions are generated automatically from the publications file. You do not need to touch the layout code to add or hide sections. Setting it up requires forking the repository on GitHub, renaming it to match your GitHub username, installing Node.js dependencies, and running a local preview before pushing. Once you push to the main branch, a built-in GitHub Actions workflow builds the site and publishes it. The README includes a step-by-step checklist for this process. The template supports light and dark modes with automatic detection based on the user's system setting, and the layout adjusts for mobile screens. Publication links (Paper, Code, Dataset, Slides, Video, and others) have icons inferred automatically from their labels. GitHub star counts can be shown next to code links. The repository does not specify a license.
