Update blog-starter to App Router (#61170 )

### What?

This updates the `blog-starter` example to Next 14.1 App Router.

### Why?

I checked out a new `blog-starter` project on Vercel and was surprised
it was using the Pages Router. I believe the App Router is a better
choice.

### How?

I tried to keep the implementation logic as close to the original Pages
`blog-starter`.

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.

Demo

https://next-blog-starter.vercel.app/

Deploy your own

Deploy the example using Vercel or preview live with StackBlitz

How to use

Execute create-next-app with npm, Yarn, or pnpm to bootstrap the example:

npx create-next-app --example blog-starter blog-starter-app

yarn create next-app --example blog-starter blog-starter-app

pnpm create next-app --example blog-starter blog-starter-app

Your blog should be up and running on http://localhost:3000! If it doesn't work, post on GitHub discussions.

Deploy it to the cloud with Vercel (Documentation).

Notes

blog-starter uses Tailwind CSS (v3.0).
