AstroPaper š
AstroPaper is a minimal, responsive, accessible and SEO-friendly Astro blog theme. This theme is designed and crafted based on my personal blog.
Read the blog posts or check the README Documentation Section for more info.
š„ Features
- type-safe markdown
- super fast performance
- accessible (Keyboard/VoiceOver)
- responsive (mobile ~ desktops)
- SEO-friendly
- light & dark mode
- fuzzy search
- draft posts & pagination
- sitemap & rss feed
- followed best practices
- highly customizable
- dynamic OG image generation for blog posts #15 (Blog Post)
Note: I've tested screen-reader accessibility of AstroPaper using VoiceOver on Mac and TalkBack on Android. I couldn't test all other screen-readers out there. However, accessibility enhancements in AstroPaper should be working fine on others as well.
