AstroPaper 📄

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

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.

All blog posts are stored in src/content/blog directory.
