Open source content management for your Git workflow.
For a long time I’ve wanted to blog more regularly, but haven’t been able to update my website. Which I mean literally. It had bitrotted to the point where I couldn’t remember how to build and update it anymore.Then when I saw the next.js announcement I knew it could get me unstuck. The same day I pushed the first commit in what is now my blog (that you’re reading on).

Getting Started
Next initialize the plugin on your page. This script must be loaded after the core markdown-editor.js file, where is the language code (e. Get the best out of Visual Studio Code for Markdown. You can configure your Next.js webpack loaders to load markdown files and return them as strings, for example: docs/home.md # Home This is my.awesome. home! React.js Markdown Editor Step by Step. In this article I will tell you about how to create Markdown Editor with React.js and Web Storage.
Next is a triumph of convention over configuration. To make a home page it’s as simple as creating pages/index.js
which exports a function returning its content. Same for the page you’re reading. Styling is simple with styled-jsx. For the first time ever I have an SSL certificate (because it’s built-in so I didn’t have to figure it out myself).Next provides server-rendering of my pages and page pre-fetching. Making this work with markdown was a line or five of configuration.GA integration also easyEmbedding js easy, don’t have to webpack
What’s Missing
The biggest drawback: I just introduced a bunch of dead links to the web. joelburget.com/plaintext is still sitting, unstyled, in an s3 bucket, as are a bunch of other pages. I’m planning to bring them back soon, but it’s a lot of work for the ones that included javascript.Writing in just markdown. With next, pages are defined by placing a .js
file in the pages
directory. I’m writing in markdown, so my js file just wraps the markdown content.RSS. Automatic feed generation would be 👌🏻.AMP. As a blog this is just a collection of static pages, which should make it easy to AMP. But it’s more work than just a meta tag. Internet awareness!college st. paul. You need to swap in tags like <amp-img>
for <img>
, make sure you’re not using disallowed styles , etc. More work than I’m prepared to do for what’s essentially just a nice-to-have. There’s an open issue on the next repo to add an AMP example, after which the biggest remaining unknown is creating valid AMP content from markdown.Comments. I don’t have them but vaguely want them.Maintenance. This setup is rather minimal, but as soon as I start adding some of these features I’m going to be burdened with maintenance. I’d rather reuse someone else’s work. A couple potential candidates: Guillermo Rauch has also been blogging on next with an open source setup, which I’m hoping will evolve into a framework. There’s also a site generator called hokusai I’ve been keeping an eye on. This one shares a lot of the same tech we’re using, but isn’t targeted at next / now. I’m sure I can learn from both but am still waiting for someone to build the perfect next blogging framework.
