Comet Land is an open-source monorepo template that provides both a blog and a resume website, built with Next.js, Turborepo, and NextUI.
What is Comet Land?
Comet Land is a monorepo template that gives you two separate Next.js applications: a blog and a resume site. It takes configuration via a central constants directory and per-app config files, and outputs a statically deployable blog (default port 3000) and resume (default port 3001). The project is maintained by hyesungoh and licensed under MIT.
Key Features
- Monorepo structure — Uses Turborepo to manage two apps (
apps/blogandapps/resume) plus a shared core package (packages/core) for constants and configuration. - NextUI design system — Both blog and resume are styled with NextUI components, with dark mode support built in.
- KBar command palette — The blog's search and the resume's contact menu are powered by KBar, letting visitors navigate and search with keyboard shortcuts.
- Code highlighting — Blog posts support code blocks with line highlighting and line numbers, giving a developer-focused reading experience.
- Comments and analytics — Utterances provides GitHub-backed comments on blog posts, while Google Analytics and Hotjar track visitor behavior.
- Configurable content — Edit
packages/core/constantsfor author image, default Open Graph image, favicon, color schema, social media links (GitHub, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter), and analytics IDs. - Deployment guides — The README includes step-by-step instructions for deploying with Vercel (recommended) and GitHub Pages.
- Lighthouse optimization — The repository shows Lighthouse scores for both blog and resume as demonstrations of performance.
Who is it for?
- Software developers who want a personal blog with code-friendly formatting and a matching resume page without building everything from scratch.
- Job seekers who need a clean, configurable online resume that can be deployed quickly and updated through JSON config files.
- Tech writers who prefer writing in Markdown and want features like line highlights, a table of contents, and comment integration via Utterances.
What can you do with Comet Land?
- Start a personal blog: Run
npx create-comet-landto scaffold the project, add Markdown posts, and publish to Vercel with the provided deployment guide. - Create a developer resume: Customize social links, profile image, and color scheme through the constants directory, then deploy the resume app to Vercel or GitHub Pages.
- Learn monorepo patterns: Use the Turborepo workspace as a reference for sharing code between two Next.js applications.
How does Comet Land work?
The template is bootstrapped with npx create-comet-land (or by cloning the repo). After installing dependencies with yarn, you run yarn dev to start both apps, then edit the configuration files under packages/core/constants and the app-specific _config/index.json files. Blog posts are added by following the documentation in the _docs directory.
FAQ

How do I configure Comet Land?

How do I deploy Comet Land?
The README provides separate guides for deploying with Vercel (recommended) and GitHub Pages. Both are static deployments of the built Next.js apps.
