# Ryan's Blog
Welcome to **Ryan's Blog**, a personal blog application built with [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) and [Prisma](https://www.prisma.io/) backed by PostgreSQL for data storage. This blog serves as a platform where I write about all things software-related. It's designed with a clean, user-friendly interface for a smooth reading experience.

## Features
- **Static & Dynamic Rendering**: Takes full advantage of Next.js's hybrid rendering approach. Some pages are statically generated for fast loading, while others are dynamically rendered as needed.
- **HTML-based Blog Posts**: Each blog post is written in HTML and stored both in the codebase and in a PostgreSQL database via Prisma.
- **Scroll-based Pagination**: As the user scrolls down the page, new blog posts are dynamically fetched and rendered, allowing for a seamless reading experience without overwhelming users with too much content at once.
- **Clean, Comfortable Design**: The UI is designed with simplicity and ease of reading in mind, allowing users to focus on the content without distractions.
- **Software-Focused Content**: All blog posts center around software development, engineering practices, and related topics.
## Tech Stack
- **Frontend**: [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) for the React framework.
- **Backend**: [Prisma](https://www.prisma.io/) ORM connected to a PostgreSQL database for managing blog posts and other data.
- **Database**: PostgreSQL for structured data storage.
- **Deployment**: The blog is hosted using a platform that supports Next.js, such as Vercel.
