🔄 Update to: Count Number of Blog Posts in Docusaurus and Vercel

In my previous post, I shared a method to count the number of blog posts in a Docusaurus project and display it on your homepage, fully compatible with Vercel and static builds.

That method works great-if all your blog posts are plain .md or .mdx files in the blog/ directory.

But if you're like me and prefer organizing blog posts in folders (e.g., blog/my-post/index.md), the previous approach silently misses those.

If you're building on Hrekov.com or your next side project, picking a good free-tier database can make or break your MVP. Here's a detailed look at what Vercel (via Neon) and Supabase offer with no cost, along with the trade-offs.

Many developers using Docusaurus want to display the number of blog posts they have-especially on their homepage. While this may sound trivial, doing it the right way (that works on both your local dev and production builds like Vercel) requires some thought.

Here’s a simple and reliable way to implement this-no hacks, no unstable APIs, just clean engineering.

Sometimes flake8 just won't shut up - and you're on a roll.

You want to bring your feature branch up to date with the latest main, but you don’t want messy merge commits.

The solution: rebase.

Rebase reapplies your local commits on top of the latest main from remote. It keeps your commit history clean, linear, and easy to read - especially when preparing a pull request.
