• CVE-2025-29927 – Next.js

  > What do you get out of Next.js over vanilla React? The biggest problem is that React itself recommends against using Vanilla React. https://react.dev/learn/creating-a-react-app > If you want to build a new app or website with React, we recommend starting with a framework. This, frankly, is insane. The whole point of React was that it was this relatively lightweight UI library you could drop into pretty much any... - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

• How much traffic can a pre-rendered Next.js site handle?

  I think people reasonably expect, say, an aws lambda to be aws specific. That's a very different story to React, which is supposed to be a library for general application ui development, and the official react documentation recommending Next as the way to use it. https://react.dev/learn/creating-a-react-app. - Source: Hacker News / 20 days ago

• Sunsetting Create React App

  Interestingly, the Creating a React App page (https://react.dev/learn/creating-a-react-app) does not mention Remix. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• React v19 has been released

  The Getting Started docs recommend against using vanilla React and nudge you towards NextJS and similar frameworks because you're gonna end up needing that stuff eventually https://react.dev/learn/start-a-new-react-project So new projects have to actively not follow the recommended approach in the docs if they want to use vanilla React. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Dependency management fatigue, or why I forever ditched React for Go+Htmx+Templ

  I'm not saying I haven't seen it, but I would bet my lifesavings the overall percentage is quite small. Why is bringing up the minority use case helpful in these discussions? Some teams just use javascript and opt for zero dependencies, these teams are also an extreme minority. You can't have an earnest discussion about react if you're going to argue that no one pulls in a myriad of other dependencies. Even the... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• PayloadCMS: Open-Source, Fullstack Next.js Framework

  A common misconception. React is a library. These are examples for React frameworks: https://react.dev/learn/start-a-new-react-project#production-grade-react-frameworks. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• A Modest Critique of Htmx

  The official React docs now instruct you to go straight to Next.js: https://react.dev/learn/start-a-new-react-project When React "is just a library" but the installation instructions tell you to install some large, VC-backed framework immediately - it just doesn't sit right with me. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• A Modest Critique of Htmx

  Yea I'm not really buying it. create-react-app is deprecated. https://react.dev/learn/start-a-new-react-project points you directly at Next.js as a *starting point* and the section about using React without a framework does it's best to discourage you from doing it. This is insane for beginners. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Stop using create-react-app

  The question I asked myself often is : Why did the React team bury the mention of Vite deep within a collapsed "Deep Dive" block on the Start a New Project page of their docs. Why does the mention of vite feel very brushed off, just a comment, a maybe not important note at the very end of a wall of text most people won't read? - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• Why and How to Migrate Your React App from CRA to Vite

  Here is the tricky situation and that's why CRA is in a semi-dead state, it has not been deprecated but isn't receiving any updates not even security updates, along with that the new React.dev documentation doesn't mention CRA but suggests using React meta-frameworks like Next and Remix for new projects. You can read more about React's reasoning for it in this github issue discussion. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago

• It’s not just you, Next.js is getting harder to use

  The official React docs don’t share the same sentiment. They currently recommend the Pages Router and describe the App Router as a “Bleeding-edge React Framework.”. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

• Ask HN: Does Meta use a meta-framework with react?

  The official react docs recommend using a meta framework for new projects: https://react.dev/learn/start-a-new-react-project This leads me to wonder, do they practice what they preach? If so what meta-framework do they use with react? Is it something in house? - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Choosing a FE framework in 2024, a practical tale

  As of writing this, there's a lot of criticism of React and where its heading. Apparently, React themselves recommend using a meta-framework and not just "plain React" in their "getting started" page, which is... interesting. I particularly resonated with this article, and also enjoyed this funny video, which I think explains the current turmoil in the React ecosystem (and FE ecosystem in general) pretty well. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• React Throws a Curveball

  I'm one of them. React is pretty much all I've ever known to a deeper extent in web development. Though I grew to appreciate it over time, I've been concerned about React lately. It's changed. Now it is best used within frameworks, supposedly. There's Next.js, Remix, Gatsby... Just what we all needed: more tools on top of tools on top of tools. Each with its own sets of standards. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Why does React need 1484 dependencies by default?

  > (In fact, it’s considered deprecated) That’s not true. https://react.dev/learn/start-a-new-react-project Vite fans recommend Vite, but that doesn’t change the official documentation. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• React, where are you going?

  React suggests using a framework to start a project, suggesting to use one of the three main open source frameworks, instead of just React. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Kind of Annoyed at React

  Create React App is in a strange, pseudo-death state. - It is not listed as an option for starting a new project in the React docs[0]. - The last release was April 12, 2022. - The last time I created a new project with CRA, it printed a console log that claimed CRA was deprecated. However, the message seemed to originate from a dependency rather than CRA itself. All this was enough to convince me to move to... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
