Continuum is a premium Astro theme built on Metro, the design language of Windows Phone and Zune, for Vault CMS and Zeku. Content comes first and type is the interface: big, light lettering on a strong left edge, pure black or white, and one accent color. Set it up from Obsidian with Astro Theme Settings, or from the settings in Zeku.
Motion
- A panorama home page: one wide page you swipe, scroll, or arrow through, with a giant title that pans slower than the sections and wraps around past the last one.
- The continuum transition: tap a post and its title lifts off the list and flies into the page as its header. Tap the title at the top and it flies home.
- Turnstile page turns: pages and lists turn on the screen's left edge, one item after another, the way Windows Phone turned them.
- Pivots that slide between a page's views.
- Live tiles: project tiles turn over to show what's inside, and a Me tile shows your photo with your accent peeking over it.
- Your timing: an overall speed, then the panorama, the turnstile, the title's flight, pivots, and tiles each on their own. Reduced motion is always honored.
Look
- Twenty accent colors, Windows Phone's own, at full strength on tiles and toned to pass WCAG AA as text.
- Dark and light: Windows Phone's black, Zune's white, or the visitor's system setting.
- Segoe for Windows visitors, and a matched Noto Sans, served from your site, for everyone else.
- Visitor settings: visitors can pick their own accent, mode, and a photo behind the panorama.
Content
- Posts with reading time, tags, and pivots for recent, featured, and topics.
- Projects as live tiles in small, medium, wide, and large sizes.
- Pages, an about section, and a Now list in Zune's now-playing style.
- Obsidian formatting: callouts, math, Mermaid diagrams, highlights, footnotes, and embeds.
Built in
- Search, with type-to-search on the home page.
- RSS with full posts, a sitemap, llms.txt, social cards, and JSON-LD.
- A vault set up for Obsidian: the Oxygen theme in Continuum's colors, Bases CMS, Astro Theme Settings, and the plugins Vault CMS uses.
- Updates in one command: `pnpm run update` brings in new versions and leaves your content alone.
