Day #19 - Tech Deamons
Today, I had to correct my early rushed tech choices!
Create-react-app generator is perfect for a web app but it's lack any SEO optimizations. Then going to a performant SSR React framework was a one-way ticket for me.
I've used Gatsby but I got tired of their endless builds. Next.js is hyping lately and it worthed a chance.
It took no more than a couple of hours to completely transform the whole app to a working Next.js project. I have to admit, the Vercel guys know what DX means.
The most painful task was to manually transform the react-router-dom
Link
and useHistory
to next/link
and next/router
respectively.
I'm gonna definitely devote more time on Next.js in the future!
