Building the NeuralEdge Blog
The NeuralEdge Blog is more than just a publishing platform. It’s a hands-on experiment in AI-automation, developer workflows, and modern hosting. This post shares how we built it using Cursor AI editor, automated pipelines with n8n, and frictionless deployment on Vercel.
From Cursor to Commit
We drafted and structured content directly inside Cursor, leveraging AI pair-programming to quickly scaffold JSON posts that follow our schema. Cursor’s context-aware editing helped enforce the schema while speeding up iteration.
{ "type": "heading", "level": 2, "text": "Sample Section" }Cursor AI makes JSON authoring nearly frictionless — schema validation, quick fixes, and inline AI prompts save hours of work.
n8n: Automating the Publishing Flow
Instead of manually pushing blog files, we configured n8n workflows that automate publishing:
- Pull new drafts from Notion or local markdown
- Convert them into JSON according to the schema
- Commit automatically into the
content/folder on GitHub
Automated Drafts
Convert notes into JSON posts in one click.
Schema Validation
Ensure every post respects the NeuralEdge content model.
One-Step Deploy
Push to GitHub, auto-deploy on Vercel.
Scalable
Add new data sources and workflows without re-architecting.
Seamless Hosting on Vercel
With Vercel, deployment is effortless. Every commit to main triggers a rebuild. JSON posts in content/*.json are rendered as fully styled pages, complete with SEO tags, RSS feeds, and OpenGraph previews.
Zero Config
Vercel detects Next.js instantly.
Secure
Automatic HTTPS and environment variable handling.
Fast CI/CD
Commits go live in seconds.
Scales Globally
Edge network ensures low-latency delivery worldwide.
