Compared to traditional server side rendering, the article describes a hellscape of self-imposed complexity. Why would anyone choose this?
- DangitBobby 5y agoYou choose something like react for the frontend if you need heavy interactivity, something closer to a desktop application than a traditional web app. Then you choose tools like Next.js that will do SSR for you so you can take advantage of how good browsers are at rendering HTML.
- grey-area 5y agoThe needs you describe are incredibly rare. Facebook for example doesn’t have heavy interactivity closer to a desktop app. You can also do interactivity just fine with Ajax. These frameworks bring nothing but complexity and confusion. Also, how good browsers are at rendering html has nothing to do with next js. Browsers don’t care where the html came from.
