Why File-Based Content is Awesome

1. It's blazing fast

Next.js can pre-render everything at build time.

2. Git becomes your CMS

Every change is version controlled for free.

3. Zero vendor lock-in

You decide how your data looks.

Code Example

import { getAllPosts } from "@/lib/blog/posts";

const posts = getAllPosts();
console.log(posts);

Conclusion

File-based blogging is simple, fast, and scalable.
