Well, I just decided to ditch next js for SvelteKit. Sick of all the unnecessary and unwanted complexity with no real advantage. React/Next is way too overrated. A frameworks job is to make things easy for the developers but the DX is terrible while using react. You have to take care of a lot of things yourself. This might trigger the react fanbois but I'm so over React and it's nonsensical complexity.

The best part about Next.js is that the docs are amazing.
The docs have a step by step tutorial on how to make a demo project, and I used that to learn Next.js too.
It was really helpful and i definitely recommend using it.
