Auric is a fast, secure-by-default Astro portfolio + blog theme. A warm gold-on-dark design with a built-in light mode, an animated node-network background, and a full Markdown/MDX blog — built so security and privacy come standard, not as an afterthought.
Search is instant and built in: hit the magnifier or press Ctrl/Cmd+K, and find any post without leaving the page.
Secure & private by default
- Strict Content-Security-Policy + hardening headers (HSTS, anti-clickjacking…)
- Self-hosted fonts — zero requests to Google
- Light & dark mode — sun/moon toggle in the nav, visitor choice remembered, default configurable in one line
- No third-party tracking — green on securityheaders.com out of the box
What's included
- Landing page: hero, about, skills, latest posts, contact
- Blog: content collections, tags, cover images, RSS & sitemap
- Instant full-text search (Pagefind) — opens as a modal from the nav, or with Ctrl/Cmd+K. Static, zero backend. The search bundle is only fetched when a visitor actually searches, so every other page stays exactly as light as before. A dedicated /search page doubles as the no-JS fallback
- Tag pages — every tag gets its own page, plus a tag index with post counts
- AI-ready — ships /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt (llmstxt.org convention), so generative engines can read and cite your content. Optional tldr and faq frontmatter fields render an "In brief" box and an FAQ accordion, and emit FAQPage structured data
- A single config file for all your content (name, intro, skills, links)
- Optional contact form (Web3Forms) + cookieless analytics
- Fully responsive, accessible, reduced-motion support, graceful no-JS fallback
