πŸš€ MDXpress Blog - CNP (Compiled N' Portable)

MDXpress Blog - CNP is a serverless-friendly version of the original MDXpress Blog, reworked to deploy seamlessly on platforms like Vercel using Serverless Functions.

It’s a markdown-powered, minimal blogging platform that compiles content on-the-fly without any backend server, database, or complex setup.

✨ What's New in CNP?

  • βœ… Serverless Architecture: Powered by Vercel Serverless Functions.
  • πŸͺ„ Vercel-Ready: No server.js, works natively with vercel dev and on production deploys.
  • πŸ“ /api Directory Support: Each route is handled through functions inside the /api/ folder.
  • βš™οΈ Markdown Compilation: Still powered by marked, now running serverlessly.
  • πŸ’… Same UI, Better Delivery: No compromises on theming, dark mode, or user experience.
