Template Details

Astro Micro is a fork of Mark Horn's Astro Nano theme, designed to present blog and portfolio content on Astro sites. It continues Nano's zero-framework approach while adding two extensions: Pagefind search and Giscus comments. The theme includes full type safety, a sitemap, RSS feed, and Markdown and MDX support. It uses TailwindCSS for styling and provides system, light, and dark themes. The repository is MIT-licensed and free to use for personal or commercial projects, but third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate license verification. Search and comments rely on external services like Pagefind and Giscus, whose availability and costs are outside the code license.

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

Repository update recorded: 2026-08-13
Screenshot last checked: 2026-10-01

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.

# Introducing [Astro Micro 🔬](https://astro-micro.vercel.app/)

Astro Micro is an accessible theme for Astro. It's a fork of [Mark Horn's](https://github.com/markhorn-dev) popular theme [Astro Nano](https://astro-nano-demo.vercel.app/). Like Nano, Micro comes with zero frameworks installed.

Micro adds features like [Pagefind](https://pagefind.app) for search, [Giscus](https://giscus.app) for comments, and more. For a full list of changes, see this [blog post](https://astro-micro.vercel.app/blog/00-micro-changelog).

Micro still comes with everything great about Nano — full type safety, a sitemap, an RSS feed, and Markdown + MDX support. Styled with TailwindCSS and preconfigured with system, light, and dark themes.
