Semantify was made for content creators, marketers, and anyone looking to enhance their long-form written content. Currently only supporting MDX-based content, It automates the enrichment of MDX blog posts by adding AI-generated Q&A sections that summarize the content, and recommendations for semantically similar posts. This not only makes the content more accessible and engaging but also helps in establishing deeper connections between different posts, ultimately keeping the reader engaged for longer periods.

> We thought this would be a no-brainer and that there would be some CMS/SSG libraries out there that made this Markdown conversion process easy and facilitated integration with any number of frontend frameworks.

You thought correct:

- NextJS MDX integration: https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/conf...

The example above uses react-markdown, but you can use any library you want to render the markdown content. You can also use a transform function to modify the markdown content during the build process. Here is an example that uses MDX to compile the markdown content.

MDX is a js library that allows us to import a markdown file as a react component and use it anywhere.

/blog/ - This directory contains all the markdown files, of your site blogs, you can simply add a new blog by using markdown, or simply remove a blog file by deleting its file, you can combine the markdown with MDX, resulting a well-written blog post.

Hey HN!

This is a little personal project I've been hacking on for the past ~week, somewhat inspired by this blog post [0] ("My Wonderful HTML Email Workflow").

Basically I just wanted an easy way to create email templates in MDX [1] (Markdown + JSX), using React Email [2] components.

It's still a bit of a work in progress (and a bit slow at the moment) but wanted to share in case anyone else finds it interesting!

That’s why formats like Markdown (MD) and MDX (MD with support for JSX) are so popular for use cases like documentation, knowledge bases, or technical blogs. They allow you to use any kind of custom formatting or elements and then process the content for publishing. On top of that, they’re great for implementing a docs-as-code approach, where your documentation lives right beside your code (i.e. in a Git repo).

This post outlines the steps for migrating an existing BlogCFC blog to a JamStack, with a focus on using Eleventy.

I suggest you to try out eleventhy (https://www.11ty.dev/)

Quite simple to start, and a nice system to add some scripting and styles without the requirement of bringing in a framework.

A production flag enables you to run activities in dev or production such as minifying assets, showing draft posts, etc. There isn't a built-in flag or function that comes with eleventy (11ty) specifically for this. However we have this info at our fingertips.

I can't recommend Eleventy enough!

I converted my WordPress blog to Eleventy 4 years ago and never looked back, it's been delightful!

It’s 2024, and you are about to start a new project. Do you reach for React, a framework you know and love or do you look at one of the other hot new frameworks like Astro, Enhance, 11ty, SvelteKit or gasp, plain vanilla Web Components?

The "dev" script is running the eleventy server in dev mode. The details of the script are not important for this discussion, but to round out the background here is an abbreviated version of my package.json:

Eleventy is a fast and powerful SSG that really shines when it comes to pure static site generation because it does not require the loading of a client-side JavaScript bundle in order to serve content.

The irony is using a JavaScript-based static site generator to make the site: https://www.11ty.dev

Then two years ago I needed a more robust SSR system based on React, so I went with GatsbyJS. It's insanely mature and intuitive, but as we all know that community and business is now drying up too. But the framework is still great.

Now everyone sings the praises of NextJS, which can be used for SSR but is intended for applications and active server endpoints. But more complexity doesn't mean better.

I'm keen to try other simple frameworks when the result is a static site. I may give https://www.11ty.dev a shot.

11ty is a lightweight static site generator. I chopped up my HTML and used the 11ty starter template called eleventy-base-blog as the structural foundation for the site.
