Includes built-in sitemap and RSS feed, and supports dynamic OG image generation
The repository is under the MIT license, allowing use, modification, commercial use, and distribution
Template Details
This is the source code for guspatagonico's personal blog. The repository description explicitly states it is built on the AstroPaper theme and positioned as a personal digital exploration and professional showcase. The README retains AstroPaper's original documentation, and the author notes it will be updated later, so the current repository documentation mainly reflects the features and structure of the upstream theme rather than the blog's own customizations.
Looking at the directory structure, blog posts are stored in src/data/blog, pages and layouts are in src/pages and src/layouts, and static assets are in public. The theme itself provides Markdown type checking, light and dark modes, fuzzy search, drafts and pagination, sitemap and RSS, dynamic OG image generation, and includes documentation on configuration, adding posts, and customizing colors.
Regarding usage limitations: the repository README has not yet been replaced with the author's own documentation, so configuration details should refer to the upstream AstroPaper docs; third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate license verification, and the code's MIT license does not cover these; external services such as domains and hosting may incur additional costs.
Is it right for your project?

License & source material
Usage conditions & limitations
Free to use · keep license noticeThis entry covers the free version under the MIT license in a public repository; the free scope is the code of this version and does not mean external services or third-party assets are free.
Must comply with when using
- You are allowed to use, modify, commercially use, and distribute the code of this version for free.
- When distributing copies or substantial portions of the code, retain the original author's copyright notice and the full MIT license notice.

Additional costs & items to verify
- This repository is a personal blog based on the AstroPaper theme; the README still retains the upstream theme's original documentation, and the author says it will be updated later. Actual configuration and feature details should refer to the upstream AstroPaper docs, not this repository's own documentation.
- The Google site verification environment variable is optional; if not configured, the corresponding meta tag will not be output in the HTML head, as it is an optional external service integration.
- Using Docker-related commands requires Docker to be installed on the machine first, which is an external dependency requirement for local running.
- Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets must be checked against their respective licenses; they cannot be judged solely by the code's MIT license.
- External services such as domains, hosting, databases, payments, or AI may incur additional charges.

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.
What to verify for this project

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.

## 🚀 Project Structure
Inside of AstroPaper, you'll see the following folders and files:
```bash
/
├── public/
│ ├── assets/
| ├── pagefind/ # auto-generated when build
│ └── favicon.svg
│ └── astropaper-og.jpg
│ └── favicon.svg
│ └── toggle-theme.js

Astro looks for `.astro` or `.md` files in the `src/pages/` directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.
Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the `public/` directory.
All blog posts are stored in `src/data/blog` directory.
