Next.js App Router Update

Re:Next.js App Router Update by joshgermon on Thursday June 22, 2023 @11:50PM (#36442571)

What are the viable alternatives for those who don't care about the API routes but still want some level of pre-rendering / SSR? Staying in the React ecosystem that is.

Remix is always touted as the alternative but it seems like a whole new approach to learn and it's own strong opinions.

I've been using Next for 3+ years but I don't feel confident to start a new project today. Do I go to the dying page router? Or trail blaze with the app router with all the teething issues and issues everyone's encountering (myself included).

API routes are nothing new, and not a big part of the new App router (also, called "route handlers" there). Are you confusing features here?

Nope, just saying it's not something I need in the alternative. Doesn't need to be a full stack/backend framework - just focus on frontend and SSR.

To be honest I think Next with the pages router is still the best option you have today.

I'm not convinced the server components experiment is going to work in the end. They might even end up abandoning it.
