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-basealone for a marketing site, add@levino/shipyard-docsfor documentation, or@levino/shipyard-blogfor 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-blogCheck 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.
