Nothing really beats Rails. Use something like Jumpstart (jumpstartrails.com) and Avo (https://avohq.io https://avohq.io) and you scaffold a full consumer-ready app in literally a few hours.
The thing that bugs me the most with Next.JS and the whole JAMStack movement is that, yeah, you get from "git clone" to deployed on Vercel in two minutes, but if you need to create real app features like a sturdy admin, accounts, authorization, proper asset management, CI/CD, it takes a whole lotta time. I'm not even touching the most common app features.
I'm speaking from experience, from building a Next.JS app for about a year.
Most Next apps out there are incomplete with the worst freaking user experience. Insert any other JS framework or hosting provider in the place of Next.JS and Vercel.
Of course, this is a generalisation, not all Next apps are that bad.
Using Rails is like a cheat-code in dev term.
- quickthrower2 4y agoIf you are going to pay for a starter pack, you could get the same sort of thing for NextJS, right?
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 4y agoThanks for making Avo! I'd been building something similar in the application I'm currently working on and it was nice to have something that already figured out much of the hard stuff to replace my shitty implementation.
- adrianthedev 4y agoGreat to hear! Let me know if you run into issues.
