Hello, world

The mel blog now runs on MDX

Hello, world

We've moved the mel blog to MDX. Posts now live as files in this repo, written in Markdown with the option to drop in React components.

What changed

  • Authoring: open a .mdx file under content/blog/, write Markdown, ship a PR
  • Images: commit them under public/blog/ and reference them with the heroImage frontmatter field
  • No CMS: there is no separate Studio, schema, or extra deploy step to maintain

Why

A CMS made sense when non-engineers owned the blog. For a small, engineering-driven blog, MDX is faster: text files in git, reviewed like any other change.
