I would tend to go with Next.js for this project but I am wondering if this is a good choice because, for the moment, there is no SSR/SSG planned.</p> <p>The arguments to go with Next.js are for me:</p> <p>Zero config<br> Fast Refresh<br> File-systeme routing<br> API routes<br> Code splitting and bundling<br> Avoid the problem with refresh/direct link with react-router<br> Automatic Static Optimization</p> <p>Ok, SSR/SSG is not planned but if one day we need it, it would be much easier to implement<br> I really like all those features but opinions around Next.js seems to be: "if you want SSR go with Next.js, otherwise go with CRA"</p> <p>I would love to have your opinions to know if Next.js is a bad idea to go for a project that does not seems to need SSR or if it is totally ok. Do not hesitate to share your experiences if you have already done a full CSR project with Next.js</p> <p>Thx</p> discuss react nextjs
