I know the App router is a relatively new feature. I'm curious, if you were building a web app from the ground up, what scenarios would lend themselves to using the App router vs the Page router? Or is the app router the best way to go for all scenarios?

i'm confused to choose which one to use for SSG, because i don't intend to use next.js for SSR

pages is deprecated. no new features. so app dir is always the suggestion

isnt the
npx create-next-apps i opted yes for src folder, and it's now i have src/app/page.tsx which is i think weirdisnt the
/src supposed to be root folder ?Tramp ant
yeah its okay
it was set up for you so it should work fine. if youre using tailwind you might need to update content paths
src is just to keep your code separated from configuration files. In it you can have directories for components, hooks, libs, translation and pretty much anything
