I was fully expecting to see a one-liner for this article: npx create next app. I think this article overstates the disadvantages of using a framework like NextJS.
If you don’t want to work on the bleeding edge, then don’t upgrade right away. That’s true of literally every library out there.
And IMO it’s trivial to host a next app just about anywhere. Vercel has done a much better job with portability than you would typically expect from similar companies.
The docs for NextJS are also just… rock solid. It really feels like they cover everything.
I’m not affiliated, just a happy developer using their framework.
- willdr 4y agoVendor lock-in.
- twodave 4y agoIt is literally MIT licensed software. It’s no more vendor lock-in than React is in the first place.
- johnny22 4y agothe license wouldn't be that important if say it was just covering over a vercel specific API. that's not the case here, but the license would be irrelevant if it's just talking to a vendor locked service.

- leerob 4y agoThank you, glad to hear the docs worked well! Let me know if you have any feedback.
