Things I’ll say on farcaster but not on X: Some days NextJS feels like a massive top of funnel scam to get you locked in to Vercel only features. The amount of breaking changes and complexity to utility ratio seems very off with this project…

Facts I generally don’t mind for smaller projects where I need to ship something quick, but it’s definitely worth your time to learn how to migrate to another stack/platform.

what’s your go to for something that also provides robust scaffolding but is less opinionated?

I'm personally a huge fan of Astro! - Can do server, client, or hybrid rendering - Has integrations for any UI framework like React, Svelte, Vue, etc - Has loads of deployment adapters for other platforms or even for self hosting - DOESN'T CACHE EVERYTHING 😂 - Also works great for content sites because of its md/mdx built-ins Story: my personal website is built in Astro, and I had one blog post in particular go super viral. Started getting alerts in Vercel that I was going over limits, and in 10 mins I was able to deploy to Cloudflare instead where it handled insane traffic for free.

awesome thanks! the caching is infuriating — using Next makes me feel like an old codger complaining about how complicated and abstracted everything is

No prob! I think @polluterofminds feels the same and I totally get it. The other nice piece about Astro is that the .astro file use straight html css and js that's scoped to the file, makes it pretty intuitive if you enjoy the old school experiences. Yet it still allows you to throw in a React component if you need to use a library or something like that.
