Am I missing something? The entire point of next.js is that it's backend+frontend in one project

that’s likely the promise but it’s so confusing and high cognitive overhead to maintain that backend <-> frontend relationship. ‘use client’ - i think the special sauce for why people use nextjs is all frontend based. the frontend that comes from the backend.

nextjs dx is a special kind of hell. disclaimer: im just a simple rails guy.
