We are happy to announce a major update to MDXBlog that brings new features and improvements, aimed at making our blogging experience even better. These updates are designed to offer us more power, flexibility, and ease of use.

What’s New?

1. Goodbye Frontmatter, Hello Metadata Objects

To simplify content management and improve performance, we've moved away from using frontmatter in our MDX files. Instead, we're now leveraging metadata objects directly within MDX files. This change not only streamlines the way metadata is handled but also enhances the capabilities of our dynamic page rendering system.

2. Transition from next-mdx-remote to @next/mdx

We’ve shifted from next-mdx-remote to @next/mdx. This transition allows us to render MDX content more efficiently and integrate it seamlessly with our evolving codebase. The result? A smoother, faster, and more dynamic blogging experience.

3. Improved Dynamic Content Handling

Our enhanced dynamic content handling system is now more powerful. By processing and rendering MDX content directly within a blog post, we’ve made it easier to create interactive and engaging posts.

4. Simplified Development Experience

Our development mode offers more tools and conveniences. From the ability to quickly create and edit posts to the seamless integration with VS Code, MDXBlog is the perfect playground for developers who want to push the boundaries of what a blog can do.
