βœ… When to use which
βœ… Fun analogies (like sandwiches 🍞)
βœ… Real examples (for portfolios, college projects, resumes)
βœ… A clean comparison table

I'm so excited about this post!
As a beginner, I’ve been struggling to understand the difference between React, Next.js, and Gatsby β€” and your analogies made it so much clearer.
Thank you for writing this!

I'm using React and Next.js but not about Gatsby.
I wish to learn about the Gatsby.
