A statically generated personal site using Next.js, Markdown, and TypeScript

This project incoporates aspects of the following templates:

• blog-starter
• Next-JS-Landing-Page-Starter-Template

Blog posts are stored in /_posts as Markdown files with front matter support. Adding a new Markdown file in there will create a new blog post.

To create the blog posts we use remark and remark-html to convert the Markdown files into an HTML string, and then send it down as a prop to the page. The metadata of every post is handled by gray-matter and also sent in props to the page.
