Template Details
This is a starter template that uses Astro as the build framework and integrates Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui. The repository is MIT licensed. The template itself does not include business pages; it mainly provides the project structure and component integration approach, making it suitable for adding components one by one according to the official shadcn/ui Astro installation guide.
Before use, you need to install Node.js and pnpm. After cloning the repository, run pnpm install and pnpm dev. The development server starts by default on local port 4321. When adding components, refer to the shadcn/ui Astro installation instructions. If you introduce framework components such as React in Astro, also refer to Astro's framework components guide.
The free scope of the template is limited to the code under this MIT-licensed version; third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons, as well as external services like domains and hosting, require separate verification of licensing and fees.

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 Astro 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.
