Writing

Creating A Multi-Author Blog With Next.js

smashingmagazine.com/2021/06/creating-multi-author-blog-nextjs

Smashing Magazine published one of my articles. It teaches readers how to create many-to-many relationships between content in Next.js. It’s a pattern I use frequently in my projects.

In the article, I distill the approach to a generic version. It assumes the use of Markdown files to manage local content instead of using a database or service. If readers follow the article, they are able to apply this pattern in their own projects.
