The React framework for production. Next.js provides zero-configuration automatic code splitting, filesystem based routing, hot code reloading and universal rendering.
We love Next.js for its seamless blend of React and server‑side rendering. It’s faster, SEO‑friendly by design, and offers an outstanding developer experience with minimal setup. Next.js just gets us to production quicker—no heavy config required.
Alternatives Considered:
Create React App: Good for basic setups but lacks built‑in SSR.
Gatsby: Great for static sites, but not as straightforward for dynamic or large‑scale needs.
Remix: Promising features, but Next.js had the more mature ecosystem when we started.
(Perhaps contrary to what you read on X nowadays...) Next.js has reduced the complexity of web development a ton for me, especially since the app router.
So many times, when building a single feature, I actually only have to edit code in a single file. Can't overstate the headspace that this saves me.
Their stability does need a bit of work. However, the team is working hard on this and is very transparent in sharing their progress.
I find Next.js to be an exceptional framework that combines the best of server-side rendering, static site generation, and modern development practices to build high-performance web applications effortlessly.
Next.js stand out to be the best framework I've ever used, It's simple and lovable by all. The app router experience has never disappointed me since I moved to it.
Helps get up & running quickly and takes care of most UI best practices, we have been using it since 5 years now - However, it seems to be going downhill with the new versions which are filled with changes as if they are being made in a developer bubble.
