If you couldn't tell from the GitHub repo page, this starter is built off another starter called astro-minimal-starter.

I decided to make my own starter because I wanted to make a couple changes to the base template. These are the changes I've made:

• minor SEO adjustments
• store post/page data in src/data/posts
• add Netlify CMS
• add Netlify Redirects
• add Netlify Redirects
• add Tailwind
• write components in React & TypeScript

Structure

One thing to note about Pages vs Posts. All posts (i.e. blog posts) live in /src/data/posts and are Markdown files. Pages live under /src/pages and can be Markdown or Astro components.

In the past, I've had some pages live next to blog posts, but I find that more confusing from a maintainence perspective.

Get Started

Install Dependencies

yarn

Run Site locally

yarn start

To access Netlify CMS, you need to run the proxy server in a separate terminal:

npx netlify-cms-proxy-server

See here for more information.

Build Site

yarn build

Navigate to src/data/site.ts and edit to match your site's information.

Start writing new blog posts in Markdown at src/data/posts/.
