What the fucking is happening with react? They advice you to use NextJs but that thing is just Vercel trying to force us buy their servers. Are we going back to PHP ? Tightly coupled front-backend.

I used to just build any React/Front app and deploy the bundle on a bucket and let the CDN do the rest.

Now you need to spin up a fucking node server to just serve some fucking html. Wtf are we heading.

They say it's for the SEO, why not fix the SEO problem altogether then ? Plus there are already SEO solution out there for SPA.

I'm very disappointed in YouTubers like Theo that are out there pushing people to use vercel and showing tutorial in dep

Bro all we need is npm fucking fucking build

    @swifterresort as the CEO of a dev agency I can guarantee you that most of react project do not require that overly setup SEO.
    And furthermore how could it be cheaper than paying a whole server now ? I mean we are talking about server man

    SPAs were such a shitty idea from the start. I still personally refuse to choose one for any project I architect.

    Their only place is offline mobile apps. What business wants that? You can't sell someone something without an internet connection.

    Otherwise you'd build a real app, or a real website depending on what you need. Not this worst of both worlds crap.

    @sleek as much as I hate PHP, at this point I feel like we are trying to do what PHP does , but much complicated and slower

    You realise it's been a few minutes since React gained popularity right?

    This means a new, incompatible frontend framework of choice is right around the corner.
