How I set up my website with Next.js

This is an example post in English. You can edit this file directly on GitHub or locally.

Why Next.js?

Next.js is an excellent choice for personal websites because:

• Performance: SSG (Static Site Generation) for super fast pages
• SEO-friendly: Server-side rendering when needed
• Developer Experience: Hot reload, TypeScript, etc.
• Easy deploy: Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages
