The React Framework

GitHub

Where it is used

  • Vercel — “If you already have a project with Next.js, install Vercel CLI and run the vercel command from your project's root directory” Source
  • Plex — Plex uses Next.js to power their web experiences with SSR, on-demand ISR, and Edge Middleware. This helped improve search ranking and traffic after their relaunch. Source

As for other points, let me elaborate on web analytics. Google Analytics default seup collect around 70-80% of transactions/events/pageviews data. If you want to fix this, you revert to server-side stuff, and that's where you meet js-based navigations. That's when you either try to go this way with gatsby: https://www.gatsbyjs.com/plugins/gatsby-plugin-no-javascript... . That's when you are stuck with sapper: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64507516/how-to-disable-... . That's when you end up in tickets like this with Nextjs: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/4381 . And never look back.

Is support for nested routes going to be added any time soon? If I don't want a full page reload when clicking a new tab for example? Or if I want to implement the age old header, sidebar main content layout without importing the header/sidebar in all my routes/components? I'm aware there are hacks to get around this but would be nice if the standard next router supported nested routing with persistent layouts for those who need it : https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/8193
