Next.js

When I started agentic coding I built content sites first, all of them with Astro. That works great for what it is, but you hit a wall pretty quickly once you want to build an actual web app. You need a different type of framework, something that’s built for it.

Next.js is one of the most popular ones, and it pairs really well with Vercel since Vercel is who built it. Push to GitHub and it auto-deploys.

I’ll be honest, I don’t know the syntax. I couldn’t sit down and write it from scratch. But I understand what it offers and where it fits, and that’s been enough. The web apps I build now, I largely build on Next.js.
