With pagiation out of the way, it’s time to clean up the home page. Instead of displaying the 5 most recent posts at the top of the page, it’s going to pull in the site’s “featured” posts. I’ll mark posts as featured by giving them a “featured” tag.

I realized the problem I’m having with pagination is that I’m trying to implement page based pagination but WPGraphQL has been optimized for cursor based pagination.

Why do this at all if LLMs can write adequate code and blog posts? The short answer is that they can’t, yet. The longer answer follows from LLM’s lack of understanding and common sense.

Yesterday I added pagination to the app’s Archive route with the useFetcher hook and the fetcher.Form component. This works, but using forms to create navigation elements feels weird. It also adds some complexity to the code:

This works, but it creates ugly URLs: /blog/archive/YXJyYXljb25uZWN0aW9uOjk4. It’s also not a great user interface. It needs to supply more context and ways of skipping around and filtering batches of posts.
