alt Hacker NewsWhat did you move to? We've been using NextJS as a frontend with somehelpful server-side/api handling, but the backend is done in Django. We are basically just using ReactJS with the convenience of NextJS (like file based routing)

We have some other projects that are Angular, and NextJS was sort of a proof of concept for us. The goal is to just have one front-end framework for our devs to work with (and keep up to date, ugh!), so we’re folding those deploys back into our Angular family of features.
Not OP; but when I was thinking about using Next.JS, and doing a deep investigation, I came to the decision that, for server-side rendering, I'm quite happy to use Kotlin and Ktor (my backend is also Kotlin - I have a lot of client-types, which is why they're separate), and I've been quite happy with Ktor's html dsl + htmx for speed.
And Kotlin + Ktor feels very good to write in on serverside. Fast, easy and fluent to write in, like Ruby; but with Java's ecosystem, speed and types.
I like Remix a lot better for this use case than Next.js. Much simpler, easier to host on your own servers.
Astro is also really nice and easy to learn and host.
