Project Structure

• /app: main folder contains app routes (about, posts, tags)
• /components: react components
• /public/blogs: static blog content (markdown files)
• /types: custom datatypes
• /helpers: helper methods
• /.github/workflows/nextjs.yml: cicd to deploy site to github pages

Help

• New RSS feed is generate on every build using npm run build
  • see /app/posts/[slug]/page.tsx generateStaticParams() method. (Kind of a hacky way tbh.. Can define a separate npm command)
• /app/posts/[slug]/page.tsx -> is the file used for rendering all the static blog posts.
  • [slug] is a variable that is replaced with the slug param in the props for page.tsx.
• Similar structure followed for tags.
