Why We Built Gladtek

The philosophy behind the ultimate Astro Boilerplate for modern developers.


In the rapidly evolving landscape of web development, starting a new project often involves a tedious setup process. Configuring build tools, setting up linters, designing a UI system, and ensuring SEO best practices can take days before writing a single line of business logic.

We built Gladtek to solve this problem.

The Problem with “Empty” Starters

Most “minimal” starters are too minimal. They leave you to figure out:

  • SEO: Meta tags, sitemaps, and robots.txt.
  • Performance: Image optimization and bundle splitting.
  • Design: A cohesive design system that looks good out of the box.

The Gladtek Approach

Gladtek is opinionated but flexible. We made potential choices for you:

  1. Astro: For unbeatable static performance.
  2. Tailwind CSS: For rapid UI development.
  3. React: For interactive islands where needed.

We believe that a boilerplate should be a launchpad, not just a blank canvas. It should inspire you to build something great immediately.
