AstroPaper 📄

AstroPaper Figma Typescript GitHub Conventional Commits Commitizen friendly

AstroPaper is a minimal, responsive, accessible and SEO-friendly Astro blog theme. This theme is designed and crafted based on my personal blog.

This theme follows best practices and provides accessibility out of the box. Light and dark mode are supported by default. Moreover, additional color schemes can also be configured.

This theme is self-documented _ which means articles/posts in this theme can also be considered as documentations. Read the blog posts or check the README Documentation Section for more info.

🔥 Features

  • type-safe markdown
  • super fast performance
  • accessible (Keyboard/VoiceOver)
  • responsive (mobile ~ desktops)
  • SEO-friendly
  • light & dark mode
  • fuzzy search
  • draft posts & pagination
  • sitemap & rss feed
  • followed best practices
  • highly customizable
  • dynamic OG image generation for blog posts #15 (Blog Post)

Note: I've tested screen-reader accessibility of AstroPaper using VoiceOver on Mac and TalkBack on Android. I couldn't test all other screen-readers out there. However, accessibility enhancements in AstroPaper should be working fine on others as well.

👨🏻‍💻 Running Locally

You can start using this project locally by running the following command in your desired directory:

# npm 6.x
npm create astro@latest --template satnaing/astro-paper

# npm 7+, extra double-dash is needed:
npm create astro@latest -- --template satnaing/astro-paper

# yarn
yarn create astro --template satnaing/astro-paper

# pnpm
pnpm dlx create-astro --template satnaing/astro-paper

Then start the project by running the following commands:

# prepare commit hook & install dependencies
npm run prepare && npm run install

# start running the project
npm run dev

As an alternative approach, if you have Docker installed, you can use Docker to run this project locally. Here's how:

# Build the Docker image
docker build -t astropaper .

# Run the Docker container
docker run -p 4321:80 astropaper

Google Site Verification (optional)

You can easily add your Google Site Verification HTML tag in AstroPaper using environment variable. This step is optional. If you don't add the following env variable, the google-site-verification tag won't appear in the html <head> section.

# in your environment variable file (.env)
PUBLIC_GOOGLE_SITE_VERIFICATION=your-google-site-verification-value
