Thank you for this video, I have been searching for the simplest SSG for a while now, and making one myself seems like the perfect solution for the projects I need very minimal CMS-like functionality. Helped me a lot!

hi, Joel I was trying to follow up with this code but how do I get this project up and running, each time I try npm start, or npm run dev, I keep on getting the same error which is "import marked from marked " syntaxError: the requested module 'marked' does not provide an export named 'default'
