Hello World

Welcome to my new MDX-powered blog! This post is written in Markdown and parsed via Next.js and MDX.

The Architecture

We are using the following stack:

  • Next.js 16 (App Router) for serving pages.
  • Tailwind CSS v4 for styling and typography.
  • next-mdx-remote for parsing MDX server-side.

Code Snippet

Here is an example of what code looks like:

function hello(name: string) {
  console.log(`Hello ${name}!`);
}

This ensures we have a beautifully styled markdown output that automatically inherits our global fonts and themes!
