A starter skeleton with advanced features

The Advanced Starter doesn’t define any UI limitations in any way and only gives you the basic components for SEO/Links/Infinite Scrolling while creating a comfortable development environment to get started.

Starter supports both TypeScript and JavaScript, comes with Jest and Cypress configurations and allows you to write Unit/Integration/E2E tests out of the box.

You are free to use any UI framework/styling options or you can use the gatsby-theme-amaranth as a starting point, which provides a stylish blog design styled with Styled Components
