#Upcoming Features

The following is a list of upcoming features I will be working on as part of the Samwise template:

• Google Ads integration (for monetization)
• Comments section under blog posts
• Login via social OAuth (google, github, etc.) using next-auth
• Custom 404 page
• Subscription/newsletter signup
• i18n translation for translating blog posts into international languages
• Archive section for blog posts with search & sort functionality
• Pagination
• Archived posts
• Admin dashboard
• User configurable grid layout for blog post listing page
• Drag and drop images with conversion to .webp format and preview in blog/{slug}/edit for local development

You can make an additional feature request by completing the Feature Request Form. Please consider making this request before you begin development on this feature, such that I can review the validity of the feature and determine whether it will make sense as part of the Samwise template.

#Contributing

If you wish to work on any of the above features,

#Recognition

If you use the Samwise template for your digital blog. Open up a pull request with a change to the README.md detailing a link to your personal website and indicate whether you have made adjustments to the template and if applicable, list the 2-3 changes.

Adding reference to your website not only increases the popularity of the Samwise template but will also bring click throughs to your personal website.

Please tag your PR with the tags: admonition and documentation.

#Templates

The Samwise Templates section allows users to showcase what type of blog posts can be created using the Samwise template:

• Short Story Template: For Esmé—with Love and Squalor created by Patrick Prunty. SOURCE.
• Art Curation: Building an Art Gallery with Samwise: Image Optimization in Action created by Patrick Prunty. SOURCE.

If you have created a high-quality blog template which you would like to add to the documentation. Please do so by adding a reference to your template in the README.md with following format:

* **Template Name**: [Article Title](https://<your_name>.vercel.app/blog/your-article-slug) created by [Your Name](https://<your_name>.vercel.app/). [SOURCE](https://github.com/<your_name>/<repo_name>/blob/main/src/posts/your-post-slug).

And open a PR with the tags: template and documentation.

Some templates I am looking to add to the list include:

• Photography
• Educational
• Travel Guide
• Scientific Article
• Product Reviews
• Listicle
• Data Visualization

If you have created an article as part of your blogging, feel free to add it to the template list and increase your click through rate as a result.
