Zaggonaut bundles three things I wanted in a personal publishing stack: a scaffold that opens fast on 3G, room for bold typography, and a workflow where AI copilots can safely draft content without wrecking layout files. The theme is built on Astro Content Collections, so every blog post and project sits inside a type-safe schema. Tailwind utility classes handle the neon gradients, while configuration lives in friendly TOML files for fast edits.
What makes it different?
- Palette-first design: Dual-tone backgrounds, phosphor greens, and chunky grid accents that nod to CRT interfaces without feeling gimmicky.
- AI-friendly content layer: Structured frontmatter keeps Claude/GPT generated drafts in check, so you can paste with confidence.
- Launch-ready defaults: RSS feed, metadata tags, and social cards ship in
the box—no scavenger hunt across
src/.
Roadmap
- Component library for callouts and AI-generated changelogs
- Playwright smoke tests to keep the retro glow bug-free
- Optional dark-mode variant that swaps palettes via CSS variables
If you want a theme that feels like a synthwave poster but deploys like a
serious product site, Zaggonaut is ready to fork. Run pnpm install && pnpm dev
and tell your favorite coding assistant to set the vibes.
