Template Details

This is an Astro template for personal tech blogs, using Tailwind CSS for clean, restrained typography. The repository includes React integration, but the pages themselves are primarily Astro components and can be replaced with other frontend frameworks as needed. Content is written in Markdown, with code syntax highlighting provided by rehype-pretty-code, making it suitable for publishing articles with code snippets. The template includes RSS feed and sitemap, and comes preconfigured for Vercel deployment and Vercel Web Analytics.

The project structure follows Astro conventions: pages in src/pages/, components in src/components/, and static assets in public/. Common commands include npm run dev to start the local development server, npm run build to generate the production site, and npm run preview to preview the build locally.

Note that the template itself does not include a content management backend or database; articles are maintained as files. Third-party assets such as images, fonts, and icons in the demo need separate license verification, and external services like Vercel may incur costs.

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.

## 🏛️ Template Structure

Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:

```
/
├── public/
├── src/
│   └── pages/
│       └── index.astro
└── package.json
```

Astro looks for `.astro` or `.md` files in the `src/pages/` directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.

There's nothing special about `src/components/`, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.

Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the `public/` directory.

## 🚀 Getting started

All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:

| Command                | Action                                           |
| :--------------------- | :----------------------------------------------- |
| `npm install`          | Installs dependencies                            |
| `npm run dev`          | Starts local dev server at `localhost:3000`      |
| `npm run build`        | Build your production site to `./dist/`          |
| `npm run preview`      | Preview your build locally, before deploying     |
| `npm run astro ...`    | Run CLI commands like `astro add`, `astro check` |
| `npm run astro --help` | Get help using the Astro CLI                     |
