What is Vercel doing to React? I just know them as a simple hosting solution.
- CBLT 1y agoVercel is anything but simple. Easy? Sure.
- postalrat 1y agoThey developed next.js
- sapiogram 1y agoThank you, that's really all the context I needed.
- latchkey 1y agoAt least in my own experience, I tried building a relatively simple static SPA NextJS React app with their router, and wanted to host it on CloudFlare Pages. It ran locally in dev mode just fine. Once I deployed it on CFP, the router broke. No errors in the console, it just didn't work. If I'm forced to use Vercel to make a simple SPA work, which then forced me into paying for their service, that's the problem.
- byteCoder 1y agoOpenNext on Cloudflare is the only way I've successfully gotten NextJS to work in a Cloudflare Worker. https://opennext.js.org/cloudflare https://opennext.js.org/cloudflare
- latchkey 1y agoInteresting. Yea, I didn't want a worker, just a static html page with my javascript.
- kcrwfrd_ 1y agoYou need to configure it for static export if that’s what you want: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/guides/static-exports https://nextjs.org/docs/app/guides/static-exports But this won’t support all framework features. The default expectation for Next.js is with a server runtime for SSR.
