alt Hacker NewsI really want this to be true. nextjs is a nightmare. I'm eternally disgruntled.
nextjs is also powerful due to AI. But the value is a robust interactive front-end, easily iterated, with maybe SSR backing, nothing specific to nextjs (it's routing semantics + React).
So much complexity has gone into SSR. I hate 5MB client runtime just to read text as much as anyone, but not if the tradeoff is isomorphic env with magic file first-line incantations.
I have found SvelteKit really nice for SSR, and it avoids dealing with Vercel entirely.
Recent Claude models do well with it, especially after adding the official skill.
I have only recently started using it, so would love to hear about anyone else's experience.
