Right now, this template is set up to load all blog posts' metadata and contents at once into the browser's memory:

This can be avoided by doing the same work in an endpoint instead: https://github.com/babichjacob/university-website/blob/84b5e7ff44550910550a3c809ccb9f1402df301b/src/routes/blog/index.json.ts#L6-L23
and fetching from that in the layout (or wherever it's needed, like to show the most recent 3 posts on the website's homepage and all posts on the website's /blog route): https://github.com/babichjacob/university-website/blob/84b5e7ff44550910550a3c809ccb9f1402df301b/src/routes/blog/index.svelte#L3

If you'll make a link from one post to another - the page won't be updated, only it's metadata (frontmatter). That's because component definition in /src/routes/blog/[slug]/+page.svelte is not reactive and doesn't update when data.component is changed after navigation to another post while the page component itself isn't changed. I've fixed that by adding $: to the component definition, but probably there is a better way to do that:

$: component = data.component as unknown as C;
