Recipe
Tech blog setup
Ship a fast, minimal developer blog with Meridian — Markdown posts, RSS, and a clean reading experience in under 15 minutes.
Step 1 — scaffold the project
Clone the Meridian starter and install dependencies. The starter ships with a /posts directory and a preconfigured MDX pipeline.
npx create-meridian@latest my-blog --template blog
Step 2 — write your first post
Drop a .mdx file into /posts with frontmatter for title, date, and tags. Meridian auto-generates the slug from the filename.

title: "Why I switched to Meridian"
date: "2026-05-26"
tags: [devtools, dx]

Content goes here. Full Markdown + components.

Step 3 — deploy
Push to your Git provider and import into Vercel. Meridian detects the framework automatically. RSS feed, sitemap, and Open Graph images are generated at build time — zero config.
Pro tip — pair this with the “Custom domain on Vercel” recipe for a complete pipeline from localhost to production in one sitting.
