Hello Remi @ixartz Thank you for the suggestion. I checked Next.js site and I'm curious about the difference between this project and the official "TypeScript Blog Starter" that you can find here:

https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/blog-starter-typescript

Both use TypeScript and Tailwind CSS but it seems yours has more features "under the hood", especially about SEO. Maybe it could be interesting to explain about these differences? In other words, it could be interesting to get arguments to pick this boilerplate rather than the official one that is maintained by the Vercel company.

Thank you in advance for your feedback!

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your message.

If I'm not mistaken, here is the major difference. Next Blog Boilerplate is more oriented to developer with:

• Syntax highlight for code example in markdown file
• ESLint for code linter
• Prettier for code formatter
• Integrate with husky and lint-staged for keeping the code quality high
• Bundle analyzer
• SEO friendly
• Minimalist blog theme
• Deployment to Netlify in on click (optional)

The theme is a little subjective and it's my personal point of view. I prefer a minimalist theme where I can my own thing on top of it, more easy to customize it to meet my needs. The official theme uses big pictures/photos, I think the theme is more oriented to designer or not really for developer. By using big pictures/photos for each article, you need to find an image which integrate well in your design. It can be hard for developer who don't have a visual/design skill (like myself).

At the end, we are complementary, each templates has his pros/cons.

Let me know if you need more information.
