I have recently started learning Next.js/React and I wanted to compare the speeds of Next.js and the framework I used to use previously: Flask (a Python framework).
So I decided to recreate my portfolio in Next.js (the portfolio was initially created in Flask). This way I would be able to easily see the difference in load times between Next.js and Flask.
Over the last 4 days, I properly learnt how to do:
- Components in React
- Loops in React (this took a while!)
- Assets in Next.js
- How to put a Next.js website together
This is the Next.js Portfolio and this is the Flask Portfolio.
See the difference in load times!
If you want to see the source code for either portfolios, here they are.

Yea switching from Flask to Next.js was a bit painful, but it was pretty fun.
I’ll try using WebSockets with Next.js.
My next step is to learn TypeScript
You won’t regret learning TypeScript. It’s painful at first, but you reap the rewards in big projects.
sure, thanks for the advice!
I love how you're actively sharing your progress in learning next.js! You should make a series on DEV going from knowing the basics to being a pro!
thanks! yea I’ll do that, thanks for the tip!
Cool! Keep up with these things.
Hope you enjoy NextJS.
Thanks!
