data/authors/default.md - default author information (required). Additional authors can be added as files in data/authors.
data/linksData.js - data used to generate styled card on the links page.
data/headerNavLinks.js - navigation links.
data/logo.svg - replace with your own logo.
data/blog - replace with your own blog posts.
public/static - store assets such as images and favicons.
tailwind.config.js and css/tailwind.css - contain the tailwind stylesheet which can be modified to change the overall look and feel of the site.
css/prism.css - controls the styles associated with the code blocks. Feel free to customize it and use your preferred prismjs theme e.g. prism themes.
components/social-icons - to add other icons, simply copy an svg file from Simple Icons and map them in index.js. Other icons use heroicons.

layouts - main templates used in pages.
pages - pages to route to. Read the Next.js documentation for more information.
next.config.js - configuration related to Next.js. You need to adapt the Content Security Policy if you want to load scripts, images etc. from other domains.
