air-light
💨 WordPress starter theme - designed to be minimal, ultra-lightweight (< 20 kB) and easy for all kinds of WordPress projects. 7+years/1000+hours of development and still updating daily! We prefer the original WordPress way of doing things so no strange templating languages or frameworks here. (by digitoimistodude)
understrap
Underscores + Bootstrap = Understrap, the renowned open-source WordPress starter theme. (by understrap)

Creator of the open source WordPress starter theme Air-light here. Just noticed we have 376 stars on GitHub and some shares here in Reddit so decided to open a discussion about a starter theme: Do you like Air-light? Yes/no, why?
So, can you elaborate on which devices it is not accessible and how? Just quickly tested out with OnePlus 8T and seems to work. Sounds like a bug have emerged for some device then. Please tell me more about the problem or even better, open an issue and we'll look into it! https://github.com/digitoimistodude/air-light/issues

Building my first wordpress theme, how do i do it?
Regarding theme development: If you want to develop a 'classic' WordPress theme, I would base it on a Starter theme such as Underscores (underscores.me), Dude Air-Light (https://github.com/digitoimistodude/air-light ) or Sage (https://roots.io/sage/ ), which helps prevent common mistakes.

How can I create a Single Post Template for a blog without paying any theme or builder for their premium features?
A free theme that I like is Understrap (https://understrap.com/). It has single post templates. You can easily customize the templates in a child theme. I believe most themes have single post templates but Understrap's php is easy to modify, along with the html and css.

is underscores still a good start theme
They got bought out in 2021, not a good idea. e.g. https://github.com/understrap/understrap/issues/1258

I'm a full stack developer, and I feel stuck with Wordpress/Woocommerce!
I really like Understrap for a starter theme (https://understrap.com/). Using a child theme it's possible to create custom page and post templates, add widget areas, and so forth. It's free, both theme and child theme, and uses Bootstrap 4 framework.

I know CSS, Javascript and React, what's the easiest way to build my wordpress site?
I like using Understrap theme as my base (https://understrap.com/). The theme uses Bootstrap 4 as its framework. It's easy to change/add css to get what I want. Creating custom page templates is easy. Adding widget areas is easy. Modifying or adding to the php code isn't hard. The theme is free as is the child theme.

Wordpress starter/skeleton theme?
I recommend, https://underscores.me/ or https://understrap.com/ Personally I don't like Elementor or any theme that has a bunch of build in editing tools and such.
