πŸš€My Next.js Learning Journey

Hey Devs! πŸ‘‹ I recently started learning Next.js, and it’s been an exciting ride! Coming from React, I was amazed by how simple file-based routing, SSR/SSG, and API routes make development smoother.

Some key takeaways so far:
βœ… Routing is effortless – just drop a file in /pages and it's a route!
βœ… SSR & SSG improve performance, but choosing the right one can be tricky.
βœ… API routes let you build a backend without extra setup.

Challenges? Understanding server components and middleware took some effort, but I’m getting there!
