CLI / scaffolding

Hi,

As the options are growing for everything (commenting engine, newsletter provider, analytics, etc.) I think a generator would be pretty cool for this project. Example:

npx tailwind-nextjs-starter-blog
> choose newsletter provider
> Emailoctopus
> ConvertKit
> Mailchimp

> Now, choose analytics provider
> Fathom
> Plausible
> Google

And it'd generate the project based on user answers. What do you think? Is it something that aligns with the project goals?

Most certainly. I would like to reduce the clutter of my blog as well :)

As part of v2, I am breaking up the newsletter, analytics, comments components into separate components which can be used in the template as required.

The layout templates would also contain a placeholder (currently looking at handlebars or just a simple commented out component), which can be replaced with the user selected components from the CLI input.

Oh, I haven't seen that discussion yet. I'll put my comments there instead.
