Why I Ditched Django for NextJS

  • This mostly seems centered on two things:

    * Since you have to use JS/TS for the frontend, you might as well use it for everything

    * When you need common, modern functionality, you can find it's already there in NextJS, but missing in a traditional stack

    But really, both of these could be addressed by something like https://google.github.io/mesop/

    I am intrigued by the static/dynamic reusing even more code, so I'll look into NextJs to understand the benefits better (compared to classic templating or SPA-approach).

    Still, I'd note that many web site types do not need to be "applications".
