Introducing Stargarden

5/27/2025

Meet StarGarden

After repeatedly building Astro websites using the same basic structure and toolset, I decided to streamline my process. The result is StarGarden, a straightforward, reusable starting point designed around Astro, Tailwind CSS, and DaisyUI. Its aim? Quickly spinning up markdown-powered sites without unnecessary complexity.

StarGarden isn’t packed with flashy extras—it’s intentionally minimal, offering a clean, efficient baseline. Whether you’re blogging, documenting projects, or building a simple portfolio, StarGarden provides exactly what’s needed: a reliable foundation you can easily customize and extend.

What’s Included?

StarGarden keeps things simple yet powerful:

• Astro Framework — Fast, clean, and efficient static-site generation.
• Tailwind CSS & DaisyUI — Easy-to-use and customize styling, right out of the box.
• Markdown & Content Collections — Write and manage your content effortlessly.
• SEO Essentials — Integrated astro-seo for clean metadata management.
• Responsive Components — Basic navigation, footer, and landing-page components ready to adapt to all devices.
