shipyard Public Release

I’m excited to announce the public release of shipyard - a composable page builder for Astro.

What is shipyard?

shipyard is a toolkit for building documentation sites, blogs, and content-focused websites with Astro. Unlike other solutions, shipyard gives you composable building blocks that you can mix and match.

Key Features

Composable packages - Use @levino/shipyard-base alone for a marketing site, add @levino/shipyard-docs for documentation, or @levino/shipyard-blog for a blog
Built on Astro - Static HTML by default, with optional server-side rendering
DaisyUI styling - Battle-tested components with Tailwind CSS
Easy migration - Your content is just Markdown, migrate in or out in minutes
Internationalization - Full i18n support with Astro’s routing

Why shipyard?

I built shipyard because existing tools didn’t quite fit my needs:

Docusaurus is powerful but ships heavy JavaScript bundles and makes custom content types difficult
Starlight is lean but couples docs functionality too tightly - you can’t use just the styling and navigation

shipyard takes the best of both: Astro’s performance with composable, independent packages.

Get Started

npm install @levino/shipyard-base @levino/shipyard-docs @levino/shipyard-blog

Check out the Getting Started guide for full setup instructions.

What’s Next

shipyard is production-ready and actively developed. See the roadmap for upcoming features.
