Thanks Caleb. I got thinks working. It's not that things are impossible complicated in Next.js but for someone not super comfortable with Jamstack I would say that Gatsby.js is easier to get up and running. The downside of Gatsby. js is that you tend to rely on all these small plugins made by the community, and when something brakes you have to wait for someone else to fix the bugs...

After all, the process here in React works for providing a better efficiency in usage of third party libraries. And Gatsby or Next.js both are working well as a top layer for React. It depends on what you get first introduced with. The community support works out for both

Yeah, sure! We are comparing two great libraries, and they are both great! You can do things in next that are difficult to pull off in Gatsby. But generally I still feel Gatsby is easier to get started with. I actually work in next.js on a project right now, but will sure be back in Gatsby again 😊
