Building a Better Portfolio Workflow

A portfolio should not feel frozen. It should be easy to extend, refine, and update as your work evolves.

That is one reason I like using MDX for writing content inside a Next.js project. It keeps the content close to the codebase without forcing everything into a CMS too early.

What matters to me

I want a setup that stays simple:

1. write a new post in a single file
2. export metadata once
3. let the app generate the listing and route automatically

This is a much cleaner starting point than manually duplicating blog entries in JSX every time I want to publish something.
