Gatsby Theme Dev Blog Demo

Hello World!

May 17, 2019 • ☕️ 1 min read

I made gatsby-theme-dev-blog out of Dan Abramov’s Overreacted.io.

It supports syntax highlighting:

function test() {
  return <div>post pls ignore</div>
}

And using gatsby-image with Markdown images:

Once I was happy with the MVP of the theme, I just recorded a video to show how much simpler the blog looks with the theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=81&v=ipb9U0YEcZQ

I have documented some remaining todos on the README, mainly:

Known untested/probable problems:

- anything to do with i18n
- safely handling cases if no pages are detected
- options for customization being passed into the theme vs siteConfig
- including components/shorttags in mdx
- component shadowing custom layouts

Want to do:

- option to include netlify cms
