This template uses a build-time content generation system:
- Write: Create .mdx files in content/notes/ or content/books/
- Generate: scripts/generate-content.mjs converts MDX to static TypeScript files
- Build: Next.js builds your site with pre-processed HTML content
- Deploy: Static, performant site ready to ship
No runtime parsing means blazing-fast page loads!
This template is ready to deploy to:
- Vercel (recommended): Connect your GitHub repo
- Netlify: Drag and drop your build folder
- Any static host: Run npm run build and deploy the .next folder
- Framework: Next.js 16
- Styling: Tailwind CSS 4
- UI Components: Radix UI primitives
- Content: MDX with gray-matter
- Layout: react-resizable-panels
- TypeScript: Full type safety
