Revamped Astro Zozo is a warm Astro 6 blog theme with gallery, friends, search, and dark mode.
This sample branch shows how far the original Astro Zozo theme can be pushed without losing its simplicity. The most visible differences are the warmer palette, more intentional button states, a refined footer, and homepage and about layouts that behave more like editorial landing pages.

- Split-hero Home and About layouts for editorial landing pages

- Friends page for curated link cards

- Giscus comments support, hidden by default until configured
Sample assets refresh
The theme now ships with Unsplash-based hero images, gallery photos, friend avatars, and a geometric logo so the demo feels closer to a finished site. Photographer credits are included in gallery frontmatter.
The goal is not to erase the upstream project. The goal is to make the customization path clearer for people who want a stronger visual direction and a few more content surfaces.
That is also why the branch keeps explicit credits, sample content, and starter-kit style documentation: the theme should be easier to evaluate, fork, and adapt without losing its lineage.
