As a developer, I was eager to explore the AI tools available today to see how they can accelerate the development process. So, I've spent the last few months digging into the realm of AI tools for developers. I have tested, fiddled with, and tweaked a variety of these tools. Today, I'll share some highlights I encountered.
I used the WhatsApp API to build a photo-sharing app for my friend's wedding with virtually no entry barrier and a close-to-perfect onboarding experience.
> The author is seriously suggesting Next.js to build a company website.
Hi, I'm the author :). I wanted to highlight this recommendation has the modifier "If you'd like to learn something new". This very subjective recommendation is solely based on the exciting mix of rendering options, the vast popularity, and my preference for JS and React.
You're spot-on when you emphasize that there are web applications that are a different beast anyway and websites that run perfectly fine with a CMS in the background.
I agree that the lines get more blurry the closer you look, "is it still SSG or already a hybrid approach when it contains localized strings?"
What I meant to describe in the post is the conceptual difference to understand the purpose of the rendering frameworks better.
You're right, thanks for pointing this out. I'm the author; I updated the graphic to split based on the framework's purpose, "pure backend" vs. "focus on rendering". I hope this is clearer now.
I definitely have SvelteKit on my radar, but I wanted to focus on the top five frameworks this time.
Maybe SvelteKit will make it in the 2022 results :) https://stateofjs.com/
Haha, this title was actually suggested by a friend of mine when I did the research for this post. But then I found out that someone already created an npm package with this name, but the project seems to be dead :D
Yes, I only focused on the top five frameworks :)
I just checked and Sails, once on place five, fell out of the named ranking in 2019

Hi, I'm the author of the blog post and wanted to say that I completely agree with your statement.
I picked these metrics because I find them very useful to explain the differences between the rendering options. I did not mean to say that every website needs to optimize for all of them.
This blog post is for everyone looking for their new favorite JavaScript backend framework. A few months ago, I was precisely in this place and wanted to learn a new JavaScript backend framework.
