## Description

This is a static site generator and blog publishing system built on Next.js that compiles MDX content into HTML at build time. It uses file-based routing to map each page to a URL path automatically, and applies utility-first CSS styling through Tailwind CSS for visual design.

The project includes a pre-built blog starter template that can be deployed with a single click to Vercel’s edge network, where it benefits from automatic optimizations and serverless function support. It features built-in analytics instrumentation that collects page view and visitor data without manual setup, and supports light and dark mode theme switching based on user preference or system settings. For content management, it provides Markdown and MDX content authoring with syntax highlighting for code blocks, along with XML sitemap generation for search engine discovery.

The system also includes a redirect management capability that stores URL mapping rules in an optional Postgres database, resolving them at request time to forward visitors from outdated addresses without requiring redeployment.
