Astro dev blog template with interactive colorschemes

I've created and open-sourced an Astro developer blog template with an interactive theme changer that includes all 60 themes bundled with the JS code highlighter Shiki. Changing the theme affects the whole website including the code examples and Giscus comments. Inspired by the aesthetics of raw markdown, I wanted to create a beautiful blog like https://github.com/panr/hugo-theme-terminal but supercharged with a modern redesign and the incredible features of Astro. Features: - Simple configuration file - Multiple theme modes (single, light/dark/auto, select) -…

Astro dev blog template with interactive colorschemes launched on July 31, 2025 with 31 votes, #657 of 9,223 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

In plain words

This is an open-source Astro blog template for developers that features an interactive theme switcher with 60 built-in color schemes from the Shiki code highlighter. Theme changes apply across the entire site, including code blocks and Giscus comments. The template includes a simple configuration file, multiple theme modes, RSS feeds, SEO optimization with social card generation, and markdown extensions like table of contents and reading time estimates. It is designed for developers building technical blogs with a minimalist aesthetic.

Welcome to the example site. This site is meant to show off my custom Astro theme/template MultiTerm which creates a coder-ready blog complete with an interactive theme changer, RSS, sitemap, tagging, and markdown extensions. Since the post does not have a description in the frontmatter, the first paragraph is used. Learn how to use context managers and the with statement in Python for resource management.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hey HN! Introducing Trickle Magic Canvas: the world’s first Agentic Canvas, where you can visually co-create apps and websites with AI, from idea to production. Why is a canvas better? Most AI tools today rely on linear chats or text prompts. We believe that limits creativity and clarity. Canvas changes the game. 1. Every version & page at a glance. Each page and sub-page lives on a timeline. You can quickly browse, edit, and preview progress like a living, visual document — no more digging through chat logs or scattered states. 2. The canvas is the context. Unlike linear chats, you can…

  • Today marks ten years, 3653 consecutive days, of running at least one mile every day under the USRSA rules [1]. To celebrate, I built an interactive dashboard that turns a decade of GPX files into charts you can explore. Running has truly changed my life: I've made lifelong friends, explored beautiful places, and more importantly invested into my own health and fitness, which I'm starting to see the positive benefits as I get older. The stack is pretty simple: a NextJS app, with a Postgres database to keep all my running data, and all the stats are pre-computed and cached in Redis, so I…

  • Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like Morning Brew (https://www.morningbrew.com/issues/business-buzzkill), MetaFilter (https://www.metafilter.com/209703/Draw-A-Fish), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute! I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a vibe-coded fish-tinder…

  • Hi HN - I made a site that takes a UK postcode, grabs the local MP's information and generates an AI mockup of what their ID might look like. It's a small, silly protest at the stupidity of the Online Safety Act that just came into force. edit - My open AI credits got hugged to death, please use a known postcode (like one from Kier Starmer's constituency, WC2B6NH) in the meantime.
