Thanks for the great post from a different perspective. I kind of agree with you. But the problem is that there are way too many options for a given task, and it's difficult to evaluate all and zero in on something. I need a small help from you. I am new to web development. After a lot of research, I have zeroed in next.js. I loved the overall design, api/workers integration, deployment using vercel. But struggling to design something from scratch. Also, finding the jsx syntax very complex. (I come from java background). Could you recommend a good headless cms for working with next.js? This is for hoppy project, not for day work.
I completely agree with you. While I don't have a solution, I have a related question on next.js. (Shortlisted next.js since I liked the overall design). Can someone help? Posting here since its related.
Background: Primarily a backend developer. I had used java swing and struts long ago. Played around with vanilla react and next.js (through vercel). I had a look at the various samples provided by vercel. But I struggle with the syntax and hence finding it very difficult to write something from scratch. How do you guys write a new application in next.js?. Do you hand code it?. Also, is CSM a must ? Most of the examples in vercel are simple applications. How does one design a slightly advanced user interface from scratch?
