I had a background in Vue.js and hadn't worked with React or Next.js before, but I took the plunge and started my project using Next.js (https://github.com/sudheerkumarme/curo-care-pwa). I found the learning curve surprisingly smooth, thanks to Next.js' excellent documentation. If you're considering it, I'd encourage you to dive in and learn as you go.
Next.js builds on React, so if you're comfortable there, picking it up might take a few days to a week. The documentation is extensive, making the initial learning process quite manageable. I suggest starting with the official Next.js documentation (https://nextjs.org/docs) as it provides a comprehensive guide.
One thing to keep in mind is the concept of data fetching, which can be a bit tricky initially. The documentation provides useful patterns for data fetching (https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/data-f...), helping you navigate this aspect of Next.js development.
Next.js is more opinionated than React, which can be an advantage for newcomers. However, coming from a React background, it might take some time to adjust to the project structure and conventions. Once you get accustomed, these opinions can actually make development more streamlined.
If you decide to go with Next.js and run into any challenges, feel free to reach out to me at [email protected]. I'd be happy to lend a hand or share insights from my experience.
Overall, my experience with Next.js was pleasant. In this age of AI assistants like Bard and ChatGPT, you're likely to find valuable support regardless of the technology you choose. Happy coding!
