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

In my previous post, I shared a method to count the number of docs 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 docs posts are plain .md or .mdx files in the docs/ directory.

But if you're like me and prefer organizing docs posts in folders (e.g., docs/folder/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.
