AstroPaper 📄

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.

🔥 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.
