## Frequently asked questions
### What do you get?
You get a fully-coded blog with a Next.js boilerplate, a blog/blog list page, Tina CMS, SEO, a dynamic sitemap, analytics with Posthog, shadcn/ui components, and TailwindCSS styling. You also get OG image generation for blog pages (@vercel/og) and theme support (dark/light mode or any) with next-themes, all ready to go. + an experimental script to generate blogs from competitors' RSS feeds.
### Why Typescript?
Typescript's truly popular, robust and so on, even if you haven't learned it yet this project comes with everything set up. You have to do zero Typescript since all the magic comes out of the box.
### Why /app router?
The /app router has been released for over a year and this is the perfect time to learn it since it's rather stable. Since this kit presumes the blog is a standalone app it's another reason to start anew.
### What if I want a different CMS?
You can use any CMS you like with this kit. The boilerplate is designed to be flexible and work with any headless CMS, although the current implementation uses Tina CMS. If you seek support for a different one just let me know and I'll work on it.
