  • In July I had migrated to Gatsby4 - it's all slow now

    I think this article is misleading. Gatsby 4 wasn't available in July yet and the article itself explains updating my starter: https://github.com/LekoArts/gatsby-starter-minimal-blog

    on my perfectionism - I haven't found a theme that would match my expectations and that it would be flexible enough to edit it to my taste. I have tried to start with minimal-blog (I struggled a bit with customization) and then with novela (I wanted something more simple and performant - maybe their memoir theme would be better, but in time of writing this post, it is not yet released).

    Yep, you can import JSX components and embed them with your run-of-the-mill Markdown prose. If you're documenting your JSX based component library, which is what Docz let you do, this makes all the sense in the world. MDX is also used to author slide decks in mdx-deck, which is very appealing if you're tired of clicking around in Keynote/PowerPoint/Google Sheets. Which many of us are. I'm not denying the appeal or usability of MDX for certain things for certain people.

    Including the building of graphviz within pandoc lead to high build times, which is exactly the problem I wanted to avoid with the move away from mdx-deck
