Template Details
This is a portfolio and blog starter template for Astro, with a clean and restrained visual style and styling handled by Tailwind CSS. The repository contains two parts: portfolio pages and a blog. Blog posts are written in MDX and support using Vue and React components directly in Markdown. The template also provides a light/dark theme toggle, page transitions based on Astro View Transitions, post tags, basic pagination, syntax highlighting, and a 404 page. Illustrations come from unDraw.
To use it, clone the repository, install dependencies, and run the development or build commands. It is suitable as a starting point for a personal portfolio and writing site. The template is adapted from the author's earlier Gridsome Portfolio Starter project and is available under the MIT license, so it can be used, modified, and distributed for free. However, third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons need to be checked separately for licensing, and external services such as domains and hosting may incur costs.

How this score is calculated
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.
