Welcome to the Monit Blog

Blog content now lives right here in the repo as MDX — no more CMS to keep in sync.

Why we moved the blog into the repo

Every post is a folder under content/blog/<slug>/index.mdx. The frontmatter above drives the title, excerpt, category/tag badges, author, and publish date you see on this page — edit it directly and open a pull request like any other code change.

Writing content

The body of this file is regular Markdown (with GitHub-flavored extras like tables and strikethrough), compiled to React at request time via next-mdx-remote.

  • No database round-trip for content
  • No separate CMS deployment to keep patched
  • Full history and review via git

Adding a new post

  1. Create a new folder: content/blog/<your-slug>/index.mdx
  2. Fill in the frontmatter (see content/blog/README.md for the full field list)
  3. Write the article in Markdown below the frontmatter
  4. Set draft: true while it's a work in progress; remove it (or set to false) to publish
