Getting started

AstroWind tries to give you quick access to creating a website using Astro + Tailwind CSS. It's a free theme focuses on simplicity, good practices and high performance.

Very little vanilla javascript is used only to provide basic functionality so that each developer decides which framework (React, Vue, Svelte, Solid JS...) to use and how to approach their goals..

Project structure

Inside AstroWind template, you'll see the following folders and files:

Astro looks for .astro or .md files in the src/pages/ directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.

There's nothing special about src/components/, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.

Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the public/ directory if they do not require any transformation or in the assets/ directory if they are imported directly.

Roadmap

Base

• Improve blog design (More generic design that adapts to more needs).
• Create component or utilities for related posts.
• Add more shortcodes or embed functions to posts in Markdown: (eg Video, Tweet...).
• Add more Tailwind components useful for most scenarios (Features, Contact, Call to Actions, Content, FAQs...)
• Add commonly used example pages (Ex: About, Terms, Profile, Services...).
• Create detailed documentation with best practices and redesign tips.

Advanced

• Create external library or place with useful Tailwind components.
• Create examples of AstroWind in CodeSanbox or a similar platform that can be easily synchronized with new updates. (Redesign, Integration with React or Svelte components, Use of Tailwind plugins, Connection to headless CMS ...).
