I completely get that this ease of configuration is a huge selling point. Yet I don't think that precludes the possibility of pre-loading information and injecting it at runtime. My main qualm here is probably one where the meaning behind terms like "server-side rendering" are drifting to favor artificial limitations imposed by framework providers. > Next.js was designed around Vercel specifically (sadly) and there's a lot of vendor-specific lock-in features. I ran into this while playing around with their middleware. It surprised me that native Node APIs weren't supported which significantly diminishes its utility.
