.
├── components
├── node_modules
├── pages
└── index.js
├── public
└── styles
Now I have created a Project using the command

├── public
└── src
└── app
  ├── globals.css
  ├── layout.tsx
  └── page.tsx

pages
folder inside app
next will automatically pick up on that and turn the latter project structure in the first one, or am I mistaken?9 Replies

well its not outdated, you can still use it
I am still using it because I am not quite ready to convert my older applications to the app router
and probably never will
