Show HN: Next.js GitHub Markdown Blog

https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/nextjs-github-markdown-blog

This project allows you to easily add a nice looking, mobile-friendly blog to your existing NextJS app without a lot of heavy dependencies or complex stuff to configure.

You just set up a repo on GitHub with some markdown files with some metadata at the top, and it will automatically retrieve and convert the markdown to rich html/css blog posts that works well with SEO.

I made it for my own webapp because I wanted something simple and easy and didn't want to deal with a complex library/system that does tons of stuff I don't care about.

Is the readme auto-generated? In the bottom it says "Made with [love-emoji] by [Your Name] [sic]" and it mentions a MIT license but there is no license file.

> without a lot of heavy dependencies

Is next.js, sharp, etc. not considered a heavy dependency these days?

Thanks, I just fixed that. And that part of the readme was generated.

The "no heavy dependencies" comment was from the standpoint of adding this to an existing NextJS app; if you just want a standalone blogging option, there are probably better choices.
