Welcome to Astro Modular, an Astro blog theme template designed for Obsidian users, created by David V. Kimball. This theme turns Obsidian into a powerful CMS for instant blog publishing.
Philosophy
Great content deserves great presentation without complexity. This blog theme is built on four core principles:
Clarity First
Content should be the star, not the design. Every element is carefully crafted to enhance readability and focus attention on what matters most - your ideas and writing.
Highly Performant
Fast loading times and smooth interactions are not optional. Every aspect of this theme has been optimized to deliver exceptional performance across all devices.
Works with Obsidian
If you use Obsidian, this theme is a natural extension of your workflow. All rich markdown and extended markdown features, including Wikilinks, callouts, and other embedded features, display seamlessly between your vault and published site.
Modular Design
Every feature can be toggled on or off through a single configuration file. Enable only what you need, keeping your site fast and focused on your specific use case.
