Demo: https://simple-blog-nextjs-three.vercel.app
- π₯ Next.js v11!
- π₯ Cloud Firestore (Firebase) via Next.js API route to implement real time count views mechanism. Note: Once you choose a region for your database, select the same location for your Serverless Function Region. This will minimize latency between your Serverless Function and your database, improving performance
- π¨ Tailwind CSS integration for styling
- βοΈ Linter with ESLint
- π₯ Custom API route / serverless function to use Playwright to create thumbnails for blog posts preview when sharing the link in the social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.)!
- π Prettier for code formatter
- π¦ SEO with Next SEO
- π reading-time package to get a Medium's like reading time estimation
- β NProgress progress bar to convince the users that something is happening
- π SSG (Static Site Generation) pre-rendering from Next.js to parse blog markdown files during build time
- π₯ SWR React hook lib for remote data fetching, it first returns the data from cache (stale) and then sends the fetch request (revalidate)
