What? Updated blog-starter example to support dark theme. Also added a button to switch modes (User preference). → User can opt for dark / light / system mode → Mode is persisted using localStorage → Mode is also synced across browsing contexts → No FOUC (Flash of Unstyled Content) → Full SSG → No additional dependency Why? Now that dark mode is a first-class feature of many operating systems, it’s becoming more and more common to design a dark version of your website to go along with the default design. How? - Used tailwind `dark:` modifier - Used localStorage for persisting user's preference - Used storage event to sync the mode across tabs/iframes - Injected script to avoid FOUC - Added appropriate comments in the code for clarity and readability |

A statically generated blog example using Next.js, Markdown, and TypeScript
This is the existing blog-starter plus TypeScript.
This example showcases Next.js's Static Generation feature using Markdown files as the data source.
The 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.
