What's inside
varsha combines a refined marketing design system with Starlight docs, an MDX blog, palette-based theming, and production-grade tooling. You get pages, components, and content collections that work together from day one — no duct-taping frameworks required.
Typography, spacing, color tokens, buttons, cards, tables, and layouts are already designed. Swap palettes or extend the system without fighting CSS resets.
Starlight powers the docs with search, sidebar, and i18n. The blog uses Astro content collections with MDX, frontmatter, tags, and RSS. Add a post by dropping in a file.
18 curated palettes (Tokyo Night, Catppuccin, Gruvbox, Nord, and more) with a keyboard-accessible switcher. System preference detection and localStorage persistence built in.
Astro's zero-JS-by-default islands architecture keeps pages lean. Critical CSS is inlined, fonts are preloaded, and images are optimized. Ship Lighthouse 100s without the hassle.
