berinde.dev

Personal portfolio and technical blog for Felix Berinde.

Built with Next.js and Nextra (blog theme). Content is written in Markdown and MDX. The site is deployed on Vercel.

Live site

https://www.berinde.dev

Tech stack

• Next.js 14 — React framework with static generation
• Nextra 2 — MDX pages, blog layout, and navigation
• Vercel Analytics & Speed Insights — traffic and performance
• Node.js 24

Getting started

Requires Node.js 24.x (see .nvmrc).

npm install
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000.

Production build

npm run build
npm start

The build step generates the RSS feed, sitemap, and posts index before compiling the Next.js app.

Adding a blog post

1. Create a new .md or .mdx file in pages/posts/
2. Add frontmatter:

---
title: My Post Title
date: 2026/06/16
description: A short summary for the posts list and SEO.
tag: dev, next.js
author: Felix Berinde
---

3. Run npm run dev or npm run build — the post is picked up automatically for the posts page, RSS feed, and sitemap.

Posts are listed on /posts via components/PostList.js, which reads from data/posts-index.json generated at build time.

Build scripts

Script	Output
scripts/gen-rss.js	public/feed.xml
scripts/gen-sitemap.js	public/sitemap.xml
scripts/gen-posts-index.js	data/posts-index.json

Site URL and metadata are configured in scripts/site-config.js.

Deployment

The site deploys to Vercel on push to main. Ensure the Vercel project uses Node.js 24.x.

Build command (default):

npm run build
