Hi, I was wondering if you can help me with this. I was building a ML research website for my own startup & this was a great beginning point to start with. It had everything that I was looking for

  • Way to integrate JS code(MDX) ...to show tweak paper code on the blog itself ...add buttons...sliders etc
  • a labelled Blog
  • Algolia search to search content
  • Github project showcase
  • a starter theme (which I will change once I have a UI developer...I'm looking for something minimal and fun)

Also I'm new to GraphQL, Gatsby & Netlify so I can't really do much right now. Thanks for a great project :)

I saw .netlify config file & it had mentioned

[build]
  publish = "public"

which seems correct what's wrong?

The problem is that Netlify can't infer your build command which is odd. Usually they recognize Gatsby repos. In any case, you can specify a command manually by adding the following line to your netlify.toml under the [build] section:

command = "gatsby build"

See here for more details. Let me know if that helps.

Also, you can just delete the .netlify directory as it only contains my site ID. Yours will be different. Maybe that's even the cause of the problem.
