Next.js

From IndieWeb


Next.js is a JavaScript framework developed by Vercel and a community of open-source contributors that may be used to develop a personal website.

Why

Here are a few reasons why you might want to use Next.js for your personal website:

  • Next.js is fast
  • Next.js is in active development and is improving in terms of performance, speed, and functionality with every update
  • Next.js is open-source
  • There is an extensive library of Next.js content on the internet
  • Next.js scales well to large numbers of pages

Why Not

Next.js is an abstract framework. It may not be suited to everyone's tastes, especially those who prefer to err away from JavaScript for the foundations of a web application.
