Yual.in
The main repository of my blog (https://yual.in), made with Next.js and TailwindCss.
Overview
I recently came across a blog built using a fascinating combination of technologies that enhance its functionality and user experience. Utilizing Next.js, TypeScript, MongoDB, and TailwindCSS for styling, this blog showcases impressive features, making it an engaging platform for readers. The content is constructed using MDX syntax, which allows for rich formatting and interactive elements within the posts, thereby offering a unique reading experience.
The development of the blog reflects a careful progression through various milestones. From a basic homepage to advanced features such as dynamic meta tags and social media integration, the comprehensive approach demonstrates a commitment to quality and usability.

- Visitor Google Login: Simplifies user authentication, encouraging more visitors to engage with content and participate in community features.
- Social Media Links: Facilitates easy sharing and connection with the blog's audience, fostering a more interactive experience.
- Recommended Posts Section: Keeps readers engaged by suggesting related content at the end of each post, promoting longer site visits.
- Sitemap and Structured Data: Improves search engine indexing and helps readers discover content more easily.
- Next.js
Next.js is a React-based web framework that enables server-side rendering, static site generation, and other powerful features for building modern web applications.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- Tailwind
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that provides pre-defined classes for building responsive and customizable user interfaces.
- Blog
Blog websites feature posts written by one or more authors, organized by categories and tags, with a section for comments and archives sorted by date or topic. Additional features may include search bar, social media sharing, subscription or RSS feed, about and contact pages, and visual content.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- MDX
MDX is a format that allows developers to write JSX within Markdown documents, combining the power of React with the simplicity of Markdown. This allows for the creation of dynamic and interactive content that can be easily shared and consumed across different platforms and devices.
- Postcss
PostCSS is a popular open-source tool that enables web developers to transform CSS styles with JavaScript plugins. It allows for efficient processing of CSS styles, from applying vendor prefixes to improving browser compatibility, ultimately resulting in cleaner, faster, and more maintainable code.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
