sipc.ink is a minimalist personal homepage template built on Astro and StudioCMS UI that renders profile, about, skills, links, projects, time, and footer cards from JSON translation files, with built-in Simplified Chinese and English internationalization.
What is sipc.ink?
sipc.ink is an open-source personal website template created by SIPC. It runs on the Astro static site generator and uses the StudioCMS UI component library for its card-based interface. The template takes structured JSON content files as input and produces a responsive single-page homepage with two languages: Simplified Chinese (default) and English. Layout and styling are controlled from the src/pages/index.astro entry file, including a configurable container width and a two-column grid ratio.
Key Features
- Dual-language i18n — Ships with Chinese (zh) and English (en) translation files under
src/i18n/, and automatically selects a language based on the browser's language setting. - JSON-driven content — All card content (profile, about, skills, links, projects, time, footer) is read from
src/i18n/*.jsonand rendered automatically, so editing a JSON file updates the page without touching card components. - Card component architecture — Each UI section is an isolated Astro component under
src/cards/(profile.astro, about.astro, skills.astro, links.astro, projects.astro, time.astro, footer.astro), making per-card customization straightforward. - Custom layout controls — Two inline style values in
src/pages/index.astrocontrol the whole layout: line 35 sets the container max-width (default 730px) and line 88 sets thegrid-template-columnsratio (default 1fr 2fr). - Easy language extension — Adding a new locale only requires creating a new JSON file in
src/i18n/and registering it in theinitTastroconfiguration insidesrc/pages/index.astro. - Uses Mi Sans font — The template adopts Mi Sans, Xiaomi's open-source font, for typography.
- MIT licensed — The project is released under the MIT License.
Who is it for?
- Personal developers who want a clean, bilingual personal homepage without building from scratch; they can edit the JSON files and deploy the static site.
- Non-technical content owners who only need to maintain a personal profile; all editable text lives in structured JSON files and no server-side logic is required.
- Astro learners looking for a minimal, readable project structure that demonstrates i18n, card components, and static site generation with pnpm scripts.
What can you do with it?
- Showcase skills and links — Replace the items arrays in the i18n JSON to list your own skills (NodeJS, Python, etc.) and social links (GitHub, bilibili) with URLs.
- Present selected projects — The projects card takes a list of objects with name, description, and URL, so you can highlight open-source work like Lyrify Translator.
- Localize for your audience — Add a new language file, register it in the Tastro config, and the entire page becomes available in that locale.
Quick start
