Astrix: a free open-source Ghost theme for modern publications

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

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.
