Which do you prefer? I'm currently using /app as it's the default selection with
pnpx create-next-app@latest but I'm wondering if there is any good reason to use /src or if best practice now with Nextjs15 is to use /app?4 Replies

People sometimes like to use
/src/app/ and other people like to use directly /app/. So it's just a personal preference@Schneider’s Smooth-fronted Caiman solved?

For normal projects, I like to use the src directory so that the top level directory isn’t flooded with files, and I know that my core app logic lives in src.
However, for monorepos, I prefer not using src to avoid tons of nesting, and usually most of my tooling and miscellaneous files will live in other areas of my repository.
