Overview

The Gatsby Starter Blog with TypeScript is an innovative take on the classic Gatsby starter blog template, designed to enhance type safety. By integrating TypeScript, this project ensures that developers can enjoy the benefits of static typing while building their blogs. Additionally, the use of Styled Components adds a modern flair to styling, promoting modular and maintainable code.

This project not only streamlines the process of setting up a blog with Gatsby but also addresses common issues with GraphQL typings. By making these improvements, it becomes easier to access data without the hassle of frequent non-null assertions, leading to a smoother development experience.
