Began working on a /paragraph redesign and used that as an opportunity to begin using the NextJS app directory. Overall very positive experience: - eager to deprecate redux which contained a lot of complex, archaic state management logic; replacing it with fetches and regular TS at React component leaf nodes - RSCs are awesome - fetch (+ all the built-in caching) is awesome and much better than our huge getStaticProps which blocked the entire page - Suspense is awesome and improves UX (though, encountering a handful of bugs associated with it) - lack of opinionation is OK but leads to a bit of a learning curve (eg manage state via context? or URL params? or via an optional catch-all route?) - still a bit confused about certain next features (intercepting routes? "instant loading" vs regular suspense? etc) though I imagine I'd learn in time Also really enjoying shadcn

That's awesome to hear! Transitioning to NextJS with its latest features can truly streamline both the development process and the user experience. Those new caching and suspense features are indeed game-changers. Don't worry about the learning curve—each new project will make it clearer. Keep it up!
