Adds a focused App Router example showing how to render a blog backed by a Medium RSS feed. Complements the existing blog-starter (which uses local Markdown) and blog (which uses Nextra) — post content lives on Medium, so users don't need to maintain a separate Markdown copy. - lib/medium.ts fetches https://medium.com/feed/@<username> via rss-parser and normalizes each entry (title, content, summary, image, slug from the canonical URL) - lib/medium-feed.json is an empty fallback snapshot, used when MEDIUM_USERNAME is unset or the network request fails, so the page never crashes on a fresh clone - lib/sanitize.ts runs the feed HTML through isomorphic-dompurify with an explicit tag + attribute allowlist before render - /blog and /blog/[slug] declare revalidate = 43200 (12h) so Vercel only re-fetches the feed twice a day - generateStaticParams pre-renders one page per post at build time Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>

The Vercel review bot flagged that the `prose` / `dark:prose-invert` classes on the rendered article would have no effect without the `@tailwindcss/typography` plugin registered. - Add @tailwindcss/typography ^0.5.15 to devDependencies - Register the plugin in tailwind.config.mjs Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>

What
Adds
examples/with-medium-rss-blog— a focused Next.js App Router example showing how to render a blog backed by a user's Medium RSS feed, sanitized for safe HTML rendering and cached with ISR.Why
Existing blog examples in this repo use local Markdown or MDX files:
blog-starter— local Markdown withremarkblog— Nextra (Markdown-focused)blog-with-comment— local Markdown with GiscusThis one is different: post content lives on Medium, so users don't have to maintain a duplicate copy. Useful when the author already publishes on Medium and wants their Next.js site to mirror it.
How
lib/medium.tsfetcheshttps://medium.com/feed/@<username>viarss-parserand normalizes each entry (title, content, summary, image, slug from canonical URL).lib/medium-feed.jsonis an empty fallback snapshot, used whenMEDIUM_USERNAMEis unset or the network request fails, so the page never crashes on a fresh clone.lib/sanitize.tsruns the feed HTML throughisomorphic-dompurifywith an explicit tag + attribute allowlist before render — no<script>, no event handlers, no inline styles, nodata:URIs./blogand/blog/[slug]declarerevalidate = 43200(12h) so Vercel only re-fetches the feed twice a day.generateStaticParamspre-renders one page per post at build time.Diff stats
Live demo
The same pattern runs in production at https://portfolio-blog-starter-two.vercel.app/blog — that's the full template; this example is a stripped-down version focused on the Medium RSS handling.
Configuration
Set
MEDIUM_USERNAMEin.env.local(no@). Leave empty to render an empty blog list (uses the committed fallback snapshot).MEDIUM_USERNAME="your-handle"🤖 Generated with Claude Code
