What is it you love about Next that isn’t tied to Vercel and isn’t available elsewhere? I love Next too but I find the value is inextricably linked to Vercel. I can’t imagine choosing to use Next if I’m not choosing it for Vercel’s fancy stuff.
- tengbretson 8mo agoReact server components are dope. Server actions are dangerous but powerful. No one has a more mature implementation of either of these than Next.
- dyllon 8mo agoOf course no one has a more mature implementation of it than Next. The Next.js team designed it themselves!
- teaearlgraycold 8mo agoI still just prefer having a more clear separation of concerns with API routes instead of using server components. I want my frameworks to be way less fancy than what Next is pushing out these days. I get the feeling we're dealing with the consequences of Vercel employees needing to justify their promotions.
- sgarland 8mo agoIt is hilarious to me that the industry has reinvented serving HTML to clients, but with many intermediate steps, and this is heralded as groundbreaking.
- Vinnl 8mo agoYou'd almost wonder if there wouldn't be more to it.
- braebo 8mo agoReact and RSC are not dope they are a kludge and the only reason you’re blind to that fact is because you’re React brained and have no experience with modern alternatives that are actually good like SvelteKit or SolidStart.
