What I liked about NextJS:
* server-side-rendering is definitely a plus for the user experience
* being able to check cookies before sending the user any data is great (a basic requirement that many SPAs didn't used to do)
* the built-in router was nice
Previously I've had NextJS front-ends calling NestJS APIs. What are my options here? Any good example boilerplates?
I would also point out that the 3 specific points you mentioned have all been basic assumed features of web frameworks since 2012/2013 lol
