basically it bundles your app into a spa

its like u would build a vanilla react app

every page is prebuilt and wont be rendered on the server

clientside only

is that better or worse performance wise?

its better

but you are better off not using nextjs

what would you recomend then?

with ssr off

but you will need to build a own api

and everything else that u cant leave open on the client

i need something that is good for simple small pages ,
i need to scale that as well so relatvly easy to work with
i dont come from js background , but when i started learning web it seemed like the best aproch

like my api is python anyways

if u only need a website that is fast and doesnt need a serverfull env then just use vanilla react or react router

but u will lack off every dynamic feature that can be done with node

hmmm like i am mustly building landers in my job, i heard svelt is good for that but i am not sure how much support does it have

svelte is also good

but react has the most support and libraries

for me: react recommended all the way

hmmmm dont i need a framework or something?

or is react a framework as well?

go with framework

its not

react router makes it into a framework

oh

is it new or something?

never heard of it

no it exist a very long time

just the v7 is new

is it just not that popular?

it wasnt because everyone was using using nextjs or any other big meta framework

it was a library with some extra features enhancing react

but now its a framework too

if not nextjs, im using react router v7

basicly i need something that will be fast to deploy to a server (small in size) and with relativly good performance
i dont really need denamic capabilities

(if things looks good then we are happy XD)

i liked next js because i can reuse componets and scale down the app size (somewhat)

You can reuse components in basically any front end framework, even vanilla React itself.

The easiest would be to start a project with Vite and React and plug a Router (like React Router) if you need multiple pages etc.
Next.js assumes you know React + you are familiar with Server Side rendering patterns. Also gives you so many cool features React lacks of (data fetching patterns, mutations, router built in, API route handlers)
