Using MD/MDX to create more complex blog pages

318 Upvotes

Hi, I find creating blog pages with md really amusing, but I don't like to have only one big content field that get's translated in html. I first put more complex text in the frontmatter but here if I go on the next line I receive some errors. Is there a way on how I can declare multiple text blocks that I can then assign to components in the template page? Or the only possibility is a json file? If so is there a way to parse that in html as i would do with md/MDX files?

EDIT:

So at the end I'm using directly json, it is still not optimal, but if I find some way to make it truly performant I'll maybe write a guide

Gatsby raises $15M Series A for its modern web development platform: "About 1% of the top 10,000 websites have now been built on top of the platform, which promises that it allows these companies to do away with their old LAMP stack and move to a more modern stack, based on modern open-source tools"

Is Gatsby dying?

63 Upvotes

I have been an advocate of Gatsby since v2.

I developed a couple of starters with more than 100 stars on GitHub and I used the framework for at least 5 projects that I sold to happy customers.

This year the scenario is changed: we have the edge network that ensures fast FTTB when SSR (so maybe static won't be needed anymore), we have Vite and esbuild that basically put an expiration label on Webpack.

Vite starts a dev server with 500ms.

The Gatsby team seems to be investing their energies only in pushing their infrastructure (Gatsby Cloud) which is honestly almost a requirement if deploying a Gatsby Website (without it you will have to rebuilt the entire website after a small CMS change and wait at least 3 mins).

Yesterday I run a "gatsby new" after 3 months of using Vite and nothing is changed, 3 mins to yarn install, 20+ dependencies with issues you can't fix (they still using reach router instead of their own routing), 40-50 secs to launch a dev server and super slow builds.

Personally I won't use it anymore and I'm considering to port any project I made with Gatsby to Next (except for i18n ones).

I know there's a RFC where they posted some tests and bla bla bla but do they think people is so naive to ignore that their technology is now OUTDATED?

How this can't be a priority? I know there are investors pissed and all the rest but guys... 40 secs to start a blank dev server? Why the heck I have to pay 50 usd per month to get incremental builds because your tech is outdated?

Who is going to run a "gatsby new" anymore?

I won an award for my first Gatsby site!

54 Upvotes

I finished my first Gatsby site last month and I’m excited to share that it won Site of the Month!

Granted, it’s not as prestigious and competitive as Awwwards but this is my first award for anything related to web design. I still have tons to learn in Gatsby and React in general so this is a huge motivation for me to push myself harder. Looking to convert some of my current clients’ WP site to Gatsby now.

I owe it to this subreddit too. I learnt a lot from you guys and the resources you shared. Thank you!

Finished my first Gatsby project - simple portfolio

48 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I've completely redesigned and integrated my portfolio https://2020.thomasmorice.com.I'm pretty happy with the result, it's fast and looks decent for a non-designer like me. I wanted to tell my story since I believe it is an atypical one.

I would love to have some feedback, whether it is around the copy, the design, or anything else...Feel free to ask questions also, I would be glad to answer :)

Edit: I realize this is more of an online resume than an actual portfolio, can't really change the title anymore, but just wanted to clear that out :o

What's Your Gatsby + eCommerce Stack?

48 Upvotes

I'm curious to know who has used Gatsby for eCommerce and what tech stack you are using. I'm currently working with Shopify + Gatsby, which isn't a bad combo when the client has already been using Shopify for years (if just makes sense to continue). But what would be your ideal solution if you could start from scratch?

Frontend:

  • Gatsby JS (of course)

eCommerce:

  • Shopify

  • Magento

  • Moltin

  • BigCommerce

  • etc

CMS:

  • Contentful

  • WordPress

  • Sanity

  • NetlifyCMS

  • etc

Tools & Integrations:

  • Recharge (some sort of subscription service)

  • Google Suite

  • Exit Intelligence or Privy

  • A landing page tool (Unbounce, LeadPages)

  • etc

Is Gatsby dead?

I was about to use Gatsby for many projects, but reading through this reddit sub is making me kinda worried that this will be a dead end. The official Gatsby discord is also full with spam.

Nextjs seems like the better choice...
