VuePress Blog Boilerplate (Deprecated)
This is a deprecated opinionated architecture that uses VuePress v1.0.0-alpha to power a blogging platform.
Purpose
To provide a blueprint of how blogging is possible with VuePress v1.0.0-alpha and empower you with enough boilerplate so you feel comfortable customizing it to your liking.
Why is it deprecated?
As my work with OSS expands, I wanted the flexibility to switch tech stacks as the requirements for my own blog / site requirements increase. As a result, I do not have the time to maintain this one since it would be a separate effort from my current OSS work.
To follow the latest, you can follow the new repo at Ben's Blog Boilerplate.
Features
- Write posts in Markdown
- Basic pagination sorted by most recent posts
- Ability to search for posts via headings within the post
- Archived posts page
- Basic scheduling for future publishing

Hat Tip
For those familiar with the Vue.js ecosystem, you might be reminded of Chris Fritz's Vue Enterprise Boilerplate and you would be absolutely right. I thought the concept was brilliant and wanted to do something similar for the VuePress ecosystem since blogging is something that still requires a fair amount of configuration and knowledge in order to get started.
And in case you didn't know, Chris Fritz is one of the core contributors to the incredible Vue.js docs that we all love so much.
