A Markdown blog engine with RSS
Build a static blog that turns Markdown files into fast pages with tags, RSS, and SEO metadata.
Why it matters
Static generation, routing, and metadata are the daily work of frontend roles, and this covers all three without a backend to hide behind. It also ships something you will actually keep using, which is rare for a practice project.
What you build
- Markdown parsing with frontmatter for title, date, and tags
- Generated routes for every post and every tag
- An RSS feed and per-page SEO metadata
- A deployed site on a free host
If you want more
- Full-text search
- Reading time estimates
- Dark mode
Build it
Front matter parsed out, body converted to HTML.
- Deploy and check it loads fast on a phone
Material for the whole build
