Gatsby and Themes The Future of Gatsby
summary
Gatsby adds reusable, npm‑packageable site blocks called themes that are usable today behind the __experimentalThemes flag and wired from gatsby‑config as an array; the demo installs a blog theme pointed at a local markdown folder, generates listing and post pages, supports hot reloading and lets a site override UI via component shadowing (replace the preview component, return null, then customize). Themes can provide data layers or UI (examples: Shopify, Algolia, docs via MDX Dec Gatsby theme), and the system is described as in a toddler phase but working end‑to‑end.
