Shipping static content without extra infrastructure
Apr 09, 2026 • Sacha Ichbiah (Founder)
For this site, the requirements are intentionally constrained:
- one page that lists posts
- one page per post
- content stored next to the code
That makes a static, repository-backed blog a better fit than an external content system.
Why this setup
Contentlayer gives us typed content documents at build time. The app router can then render:
- a list of links at
/blog - the matching post page at
/blog/[slug]
That keeps the authoring model obvious and the runtime surface very small.
