What it does

A blog application built with Next.js: a home page listing posts, individual post pages, and a responsive layout that holds up on mobile — using Next.js's server-side rendering so pages arrive already rendered instead of assembling in the browser.

Why Next.js for a blog

A blog is close to the ideal use case for server-side rendering: content doesn't change on every request, so it can be rendered once and served fast, and each post benefits from being a real, crawlable, shareable URL rather than a client-side route that search engines and link previews can't see.

Core pieces

  • Post pages — dynamic routes so each post gets its own URL and page.
  • Responsive layout — the same design working from a phone screen up to desktop.
  • Server-side rendering — pages are rendered on the server for fast first paint and better SEO than a purely client-rendered app.

What I'd improve next

The natural next iteration is the one this portfolio site itself demonstrates: moving posts to Markdown files with frontmatter, generating per-post SEO metadata automatically, and adding a sitemap so search engines can discover every post without needing them submitted by hand.
