- alright2565 2y agoNextJS does more than create-react-app, but you're not required to use all those extra features. You can use it to just escape the tedium of configuring JS tooling.
- itake 2y agoI spent 4 hours trying to figure out how to build a static nextjs website. I ended up giving up and switching to astro. You basically need to understand SSR to do static sites.
- throwitaway1123 2y agoVite is the closest thing we have to a Create React App successor. It does most of what CRA did in its heyday, while subsisting on far fewer dependencies. Run `npm create vite@latest` and just follow the CLI prompts.
- itake 2y agosomeone told me about vite. ill try that out next. I switched to astro for a blog after giving up with nextjs, and it works pretty well for a blog. not sure about a front end app though.
- throwitaway1123 2y agoYou could build a blog with Vite and @mdx-js/react, but that honestly might be overkill. Astro is definitely tailored towards the blog use case. Gatsby is another older framework that's oriented more towards building a blog, but I'm not a huge fan of how it insists on making you use GraphQL. Eleventy is another popular choice for JS powered static sites if you're not set on using React.
- itake 2y agoI’ve used gatsby before and it’s clunky and not well supported any more.
