Very cool project, thanks for sharing the source code! I am planning to learn CMS integrations, so it will be very useful for me 😊

I'm thinking about building a blog platform, so is Next.js a good option for it? Or what is the best way to build it? Should I use a separate backend or rely on Next.js APIs? Also, is using an ORM a good option? I ask because I need to build a high-scale blog application that can be updated over time. Please answer me.

Question, because I dont exactly know any better just yet.. but isnt it "improper" to send a get request with a authtoken on the front end?
Wouldnt users be able to inspect network requests and see the token in HTTP headers or the response body?

Why not just use dynamic import rather that writing a bunch of swith statements? In that way you can actually render dynamic components 😊
