This repository is a production-ready Astro starter.

It is opinionated enough to be useful, but small enough to understand quickly. It offers strong defaults and a small number of focused escape hatches. It is meant to be friendly to both experienced developers and newcomers who want a clear starting point they can control.

It keeps the stack focused on purpose:

  • Astro 6 for the site shell and content-first workflow
  • Tailwind CSS 4 for styling
  • DaisyUI 5 as the default UI layer
  • Alpine JS only where a few lines of client-side behavior are useful

The goal is simple: start quickly, keep control, and ship without unnecessary setup friction.

Choose this if


  • You want a clean Astro starter with strong defaults instead of a blank repo.
  • You want DaisyUI included on purpose.
  • You want blog/content support, sitemap, SEO basics, icons, dark mode, and accessibility basics already wired up.
  • You want example pages and components that are easy to delete.
  • You want something production-usable immediately without becoming a large scaffolding system.

Skip this if


  • You want a theme, landing page kit, or large component gallery.
  • You want a generator with many install-time choices.
  • You want auth, database, API, CMS, or app-style state management included from the start.
