## What it is
Astro Cactus is an opinionated blog and website theme built on the Astro static site generator with Tailwind CSS. It ships with markdown/MDX content, dark/light mode, RSS, sitemap, Pagefind search, and auto-generated open graph images out of the box.

## Use cases
- create a personal blog with astro
- starter template for a static website
- portfolio website with blog and notes
- fast seo-friendly static site with dark mode
- blog with built-in search and rss feeds
- generate open graph images for blog posts automatically

## When to choose
- you want a ready-made Astro blog theme with Tailwind styling
- you need markdown/MDX posts, notes, tags, and RSS out of the box
- you want a fast, accessible, SEO-friendly static site deployable to Netlify or Vercel

## When to avoid
- you need a dynamic server-rendered application or user accounts
- you prefer a different framework like Next.js or Hugo
- you need a highly custom design from scratch rather than an opinionated theme
