Astrix: a free open-source Ghost theme for modern publications
I released Astrix, a free open-source Ghost CMS theme with four publication styles, live demos, dark mode, membership templates, and long-form reading tools.
I released Astrix, a free open-source theme for Ghost CMS.
Astrix started from a simple idea: one Ghost theme should be able to support different kinds of publications without forcing every site into the same visual pattern.
The same codebase can become a travel journal, a design magazine, a food publication, or a personal blog. You can change the homepage hero, feed layout, accent color, and several reading and membership options directly from Ghost Admin.
Astrix includes:
- four live demo publications
- four homepage hero styles
- three feed layouts
- native light, dark, and system color modes
- membership and gated-content templates
- Ghost Portal integration
- styled Koenig editor cards
- English and Italian locales
- reading progress bar, table of contents, and related posts
The four demos show different editorial directions from the same theme
The theme is released under the MIT license. Docs and showcase https://adrianoamalfi.github.io/astrix-ghost/

Latest release
I would appreciate feedback from people running Ghost publications, especially around install flow, theme settings, membership templates, and whether the demos make the flexibility clear.
