Hi,
I'm about to start a new project for a mid-range web site where the backend (Node.js, Express) and frontend (Next.js) are separated. However, I’m a bit confused and concerned about whether to proceed with Next.js 15.x.x or stick with 14.x.x.
My main worry stems from the compatibility of packages and plugins that I’ll need to use as the project progresses. Also I've to use shadecn/ui.
Anyone here could share insights or advice, it would mean a lot to me.
Thank you in advance!

next15 is newer than next14 so yes, next14 is more supported. However: most libraries can already be applied to next15 (including shadcn and all it's additional stuff). So you don't need to worry about that. If I would be you, I would start with next15
