Sleek Template

A beautiful, performant and accessible theme built with Tailwind.

Fast. Fast by default. Astro websites are engineered to be fast and load before you could blink, even when not cached.
Dark mode. All themes have light/dark mode built-in.
Mobile first. Responsive and loads fast in all devices.
Accessible. A well thought out semantic and accessible content.
Perfect lighthouse score. 100 across the board.
Easy content authoring. Author content using markdown (.md) from your code editor or directly in GitHub.
Extended markdown with Markdoc. Type-safe custom components like YouTube embed, Twitter embed (or anything you want really) in your markdown (.md) files.
RSS feed. Your blog has an RSS feed setup that can be accessed at /rss.xml.
SEO. All pages are setup with all the SEO you might need.

How do I add content?

All the content is written in markdown (.md) and grouped as blog or projects in the content directory. All the default markdown syntax will work. You also have a few example custom markdown elements like YouTube embed, Twitter embed, etc. You can create your own custom components too in two easy steps.

Add a markdoc config. Check out the markdoc config in src/lib/markdoc/config.ts to learn how to add custom components.
Add a component to render your custom component. Check out the Renderer in src/components/Renderer.astro.

How do I make it my blog?

Easy.

All content is static and everything is straight forward. Change whatever you need to change.
Delete or update the content in content/{content-group}. content-group could be blog, projects or anything.
(Optional) If you need more content types like Notes, just create a new dir in content and add a new frontmatter validator like src/lib/markdoc/blog/frontmatter.

How do I deploy?

yarn build will generate a static website in dist dir. You can host it with any static hosting. If you need a recommendation, check out Netlify.
