Why I Moved NerdLevelTech from WordPress to Next.js

After years of maintaining WordPress plugins and updates, I decided to migrate…

Why leave WordPress?

  • Plugin churn and breaking updates
  • Slow admin UX and server maintenance
  • Security patches, backups, and DB headaches

Why Next.js + Markdown?

  • Git-based content, easy reviews
  • Static hosting = fast and cheap
  • First-class developer experience
// Code blocks are highlighted with Prism
export function hello(name: string) {
  return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}

Simplicity scales. Markdown + Git + Static export.
