This commit includes the initial steps of migrating the Hyper website from Next.js Pages Router to App Router, along with updating all dependencies to their latest versions.

Progress So Far:

  1. Dependencies Updated:

    • Upgraded next to 14.2.3, @mdx-js/* to 3.1.0, @next/mdx to 14.2.3, and other development dependencies like husky and prettier.
    • Resolved an MDX build error (Expected component Image to be defined) by directly importing Image and Video components into pages/blog/index.mdx and removing MDXProvider from the withPost HOC.
    • Replaced react-highlighter with react-highlight-words to resolve React 18 peer dependency issues.
  2. App Router Setup:

    • Created the app directory.
    • Created a root layout app/layout.js, including global styles, basic HTML structure, and a <main> tag.
    • Migrated logic from pages/_app.js (SearchContext, NProgress, gTagPageView) and pages/_document.js (Google Analytics scripts) into app/layout.js and a new client component app/components/navigation-events.js.
    • Deleted pages/_app.js and pages/_document.js.
  3. Page Migrations (Partial):

    • Successfully migrated the homepage (pages/index.js) to app/page.js. This involved removing getStaticProps and marking the page as a client component due to styled-jsx and useOs hook. Several supporting components were also marked 'use client'.
    • Stuck Point: Attempted to migrate pages/blog/index.mdx to app/blog/page.mdx. This has been challenging due to a persistent server-side build error: TypeError: r.createContext is not a function (or s.createContext).

Troubleshooting Attempts for MDX/Blog Page:

  • Ensured next.config.js uses the correct App Router setup for @next/mdx.
  • Refactored the blog page structure to use a dedicated app/blog/layout.js component instead of a Higher-Order Component wrapping MDX content directly.
  • Ensured all relevant components in the hierarchy are marked 'use client' where appropriate.
  • Attempted to use MDX v2 jsxRuntime: 'classic' option, but it's deprecated in MDX v3.
  • Consulted MDX v3 migration guide. The key takeaway for this issue seems to be replacing MDXContext with useMDXComponents, but our refactoring aimed to simplify component passing, bypassing explicit MDXProvider or useMDXComponents in the page itself. The error seems to occur at a lower level in the MDX/Next.js server-side rendering pipeline.

The build currently fails due to the MDX issue with app/blog/page.mdx. Further investigation is needed to resolve this specific MDX compilation/rendering error in the App Router.

This commit includes the initial steps of migrating the Hyper website from Next.js Pages Router to App Router, along with updating all dependencies to their latest versions.

**Progress So Far:**

1.  **Dependencies Updated:**
    *   Upgraded `next` to `14.2.3`, `@mdx-js/*` to `3.1.0`, `@next/mdx` to `14.2.3`, and other development dependencies like `husky` and `prettier`.
    *   Resolved an MDX build error (`Expected component Image to be defined`) by directly importing `Image` and `Video` components into `pages/blog/index.mdx` and removing `MDXProvider` from the `withPost` HOC.
    *   Replaced `react-highlighter` with `react-highlight-words` to resolve React 18 peer dependency issues.

2.  **App Router Setup:**
    *   Created the `app` directory.
    *   Created a root layout `app/layout.js`, including global styles, basic HTML structure, and a `<main>` tag.
    *   Migrated logic from `pages/_app.js` (SearchContext, NProgress, gTagPageView) and `pages/_document.js` (Google Analytics scripts) into `app/layout.js` and a new client component `app/components/navigation-events.js`.
    *   Deleted `pages/_app.js` and `pages/_document.js`.

3.  **Page Migrations (Partial):**
    *   Successfully migrated the homepage (`pages/index.js`) to `app/page.js`. This involved removing `getStaticProps` and marking the page as a client component due to `styled-jsx` and `useOs` hook. Several supporting components were also marked `'use client'`.
    *   **Stuck Point:** Attempted to migrate `pages/blog/index.mdx` to `app/blog/page.mdx`. This has been challenging due to a persistent server-side build error: `TypeError: r.createContext is not a function` (or `s.createContext`).

**Troubleshooting Attempts for MDX/Blog Page:**
*   Ensured `next.config.js` uses the correct App Router setup for `@next/mdx`.
*   Refactored the blog page structure to use a dedicated `app/blog/layout.js` component instead of a Higher-Order Component wrapping MDX content directly.
*   Ensured all relevant components in the hierarchy are marked `'use client'` where appropriate.
*   Attempted to use MDX v2 `jsxRuntime: 'classic'` option, but it's deprecated in MDX v3.
*   Consulted MDX v3 migration guide. The key takeaway for this issue seems to be replacing `MDXContext` with `useMDXComponents`, but our refactoring aimed to simplify component passing, bypassing explicit `MDXProvider` or `useMDXComponents` in the page itself.
