This site is built with [remix.run](https://remix.run). There is no database for the posts, instead the posts are written directly in [MDX](https://mdxjs.com/).
The transformation from MDX to the component is done with the following function:
```typescript
type FrontMatter = {
title: string;
description: string;
published: Date;
isFeatured: boolean;
};
export const getMdxFile = async (file: string) => {
const filePath = path.join(process.cwd(), `posts/${file}.mdx`);
const postContent = (await readfile(filepath)).tostring()
return bundleMDX<FrontMatter>({
source: postContent,
mdxOptions(options) {
return {
rehypePlugins: [...(options.rehypePlugins ?? [])],
remarkPlugins: [
...(options.remarkPlugins ?? []),
[
remarkCodeHike,
{
theme: "one-dark-pro",
lineNumbers: true,
showCopyButton: true,
autoImport: true,
},
],
],
};
},
});
};
```
The function simply reads the content of the post, delagating the real transformation to [mdx-bundler](https://github.com/kentcdodds/mdx-bundler).
The deploy is done with [Coolify](https://github.com/coollabsio/coolify), running on an hetzener vps.
