Players Club is a free Astro template for showcasing music artists, inspired by a Dribbble shot from Alex Tkachev. Designed as an experimental proof of concept, this template explores Astro 5.2’s hybrid capabilities, delivering a smooth, SPA-like user experience while maintaining the performance benefits of static sites.
Key Features:
- Content Collections & Content Layer API – Manage structured artist and album data with Markdown.
- Full-Site View Transitions – Uses Astro’s View Transitions API for seamless, animated navigation.
- GSAP & Lenis – Enhances UX with micro-interactions and smooth scrolling.
- Dynamic Search, Sort & Shuffle – Reorder or filter artists dynamically.
- Optimized for SEO – Includes Astro SEO integration and a sitemap for better discoverability.
File Structure Overview:
The project follows a structured layout with components for artists, albums, tooltips, preloading effects, and smooth scrolling. Pages include a landing page, artist detail pages, album pages, and a search dialog.
This theme is a great starting point for anyone looking to build a sleek music showcase with Astro, and it welcomes contributions to improve layout and styling (e.g., Tailwind CSS integration).
