There's nothing simple about this crapton of dependencies. Sure, it may be easy to build things this way, but let's not conflate the two terms.
- dan_can_code 6y agoRegardless of the dependencies, the point that it is the 'simplest, most elegant way to generate a static version of a React-based website' applies. Next.js is ridiculously simple to get up and running with - even for JS rookies.

- dan_can_code 6y agoWhat point are you making? The linked blog post just defines simple and easy. I am not sure how this relates to your previous comment regarding dependencies. > In essence simplicity is about reducing then amount of waste in development and increasing the longevity (service life) of the system we build. I would argue the implementation of nextjs in the context of static, react-based a blog falls under this definition in your linked blog post. Unless I'm missing something?
