Static Rick and Morty guide

Built for fast browsing and crawlable SEO

Rick and Morty Explorer is a fan-made, English-language guide that turns the public API into static character, episode, and location pages with internal links, structured data, and a persistent sitemap.

Project background

Built by Algis Bernatovics, this project is a rewrite of an earlier Rick and Morty coursework app from Codelex, where the idea started in PHP.

The modern version keeps the same exploration idea but rebuilds it with Next.js, TypeScript, reusable UI primitives, static export, and cleaner SEO foundations.

How data updates

The app refreshes a build-time snapshot from the Rick and Morty API, then generates static pages from that data. If the API throttles during deploy, the last committed snapshot keeps the build working.

Current snapshot: July 11, 2026

SEO and UX focus

Crawlable static URLs for listing pages and entity detail pages.
Route metadata, structured data, robots output, and a complete sitemap.
Accessible navigation, pagination, focus states, and reduced-motion support.
