Description

At present the website codebase is in React. I would like to propose migrating our website to Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind. I believe that this would improve the performance, maintainability, and overall quality of our website.

Benefits of migrating to Next.js

• Performance: Next.js is a server-rendered framework, which means that our website will be pre-rendered on the server before it is sent to the client. This will improve the loading speed of our website, especially for users with slow internet connections.
• Maintainability: Next.js is built on top of React, so we will be able to use all of the same React components and libraries that we are already using. This will make it easier to maintain our website, as we will not have to learn a new framework.
• Quality: Next.js comes with a number of features that can help us to improve the quality of our website, such as automatic code splitting, static site generation, and server-side rendering. These features can help us to improve the performance, SEO, and security of our website.

Benefits of using TypeScript

• Type safety: TypeScript is a typed language, which means that the compiler will check the types of our variables and expressions. This can help us to catch errors at compile time, rather than at runtime.
• Code clarity: TypeScript can help to make our code more clear and concise. This is because TypeScript allows us to use type annotations to document our code.
• Refactoring: TypeScript can make it easier to refactor our code. This is because the compiler will be able to check that our code is still valid after we have made changes.

Ya It seems interesting and excited but none of developers are from Next.js background If we go further with this , We need majority of team members to work on next.js

Dear @thestarsahil,

Thank you for expressing your interest in the project. I wanted to emphasize some key points about Next.js and its alignment with our React.js background.

• Next.js is a powerful framework that builds upon React.js, providing additional features to enhance web development. It offers benefits such as server-side rendering (SSR), static site generation (SSG), built-in API routes, and a simplified routing system. These features improve performance and scalability while simplifying complex page structures.

• It's worth noting that Next.js is recommended by the React team themselves, highlighting its credibility and seamless integration with React projects. As Next.js is built on top of React, it is easy to adapt and learn for our team. We can leverage our existing React knowledge, making the learning curve relatively smooth.

Considering the benefits and the endorsement from the React team, embracing Next.js would be a strategic move for our project. By leveraging Next.js, we can enhance our development process and deliver a more robust solution.

I'm confident that with our React background, we can quickly grasp Next.js concepts and effectively collaborate on the project. Let's seize this opportunity to utilize Next.js and contribute to its success.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please let me know. I'm excited to work together and make the most of Next.js for our project.

Best regards, Tushar
