DOMContentLoad: 1.08sec, Load: 2.26sec
and let's look at nextjs.org: DOMContentLoad: 1.09sec, Load: 2.31sec
I mean this comparison doesn't make sense because you don't know my SPA and I could write anything here but test it yourself. I just don't see a clear use case for Next.js. Just make an example, you sell some SaaS. Make the web product as React SPA but the marketing landing pages as normal express/pug site. Both the web product and the landing pages have different use cases: one needs to create leads and the other one has to increase customer satisfaction. These are different goals, so maybe you should also use different tools.
Still strange. Why should an admin change the submission of a random user if it doesn't breach any of HN's rules?
Maybe because it's not a random submission by a random user?
Guess I must be wrong but would love to hear what that admin who did the change has to say.
