The main job
Make long writing pleasant to read to the end, often across more than one sitting.
What it does
- Sets each essay in one comfortable column with a margin for notes, captions, dates and tags.
- Turns footnotes into margin notes on its own. On a phone, a tapped note opens right under its line.
- Shows reading progress, a contents list, and offers to continue where the reader left off.
- Links essays into series, with “Part 2 of 3”, a list of parts and the next part suggested.
- Includes an archive by year, tags, now and about pages, and a subscribe page with email and RSS side by side.
Who it is for
Essayists and critics, newsletter writers who want an archive on their own domain, and researchers whose posts carry footnotes.
Why it is worth it
- You publish under your own name on your own domain.
- The RSS feed carries full essays.
- Light and dark modes follow the system until the reader picks one, with no flash on load.
- The newsletter form works with any provider.
Before you launch
The demo essays and author are placeholders. The newsletter form stays in demo mode until you connect your provider. One purchase covers one website. See the licence terms.
Questions before buying
Can I use a theme for a client's site?
Yes. One purchase covers one website, your own or a client's. For another site, buy the theme again.
What if the theme is not right for me?
Write to us within 14 days of purchase and we will refund the payment in full.
How do I pay?
Checkout runs through Polar, the merchant of record: it takes the card payment, issues the invoice and handles VAT and sales tax.
What do I get after paying?
A download of the complete Astro project: source code, demo content, assets, README, licence and changelog. It installs and builds on its own.
Do I need to be a developer?
You need to be comfortable editing text files and running a couple of commands. Settings and copy live in plain data files, and the README walks through deploying to Vercel, Netlify or Cloudflare Pages.
Is there support?
Yes, with setting up and understanding the theme: write to @mirikhan1 on Telegram. Custom development and content migration are not included.
