jigsaw VS Nuxt.js

I decided to choose jigsaw as I am familiar with the technologies it's built with (PHP , Tailwind for styling and Blade as template engine) as it will be easy to customize if needed besides that, it comes with decent amount of features out of the box, I barely did any customization to it, just followed the installation instructions and got started.

Also if anyone knows of any third-party templates for Jigsaw, I can't find any except the default blog and docs that they have in their documentation.

I also would argue that the majority of code I see in other languages is equally or worse than the example you gave.

You can write terribly in any language, Laravel included.

We have ~8 Laravel apps and roughly 40-50 Jigsaw projects that we keep up to date like this.

Now, as for what runs the site. It is a static site, using Jigsaw as the framework. Jigsaw uses Laravel’s blade templating. Since one of my goals this year is to learn Laravel, it was the perfect fit for my site. GitHub is where I've decided to store my repos, and Netlify watches for changes to my main branch and rebuilds my site.

According to Node Package Manager (NPM), Next.js has about 3.9 million weekly downloads while Nuxt.js has about 438,000. Although Next.js has a significantly higher number of weekly downloads, Nuxt.js still has a robust number of users. We can conclude that both frameworks are relevant and will stand the test of time.

Nuxt team themselves pointed that out [in first release](https://www.npmjs.com/package/nuxt/v/0.0.1) as well as you can see that statement in [Nuxt's wikipedia article](https://cdn.domin.pro/K2Qa). I completely agree with how Nuxt is better for an amount of features.

Node is basically back-end Javascript. While powerful alone, almost exclusively you will use a back-end framework like Next.js or Gatsby when using React, and then maybe Nuxt or Gridsome in Vue.

Both Vue.js and React have their own set of tools and libraries to help developers build and maintain their applications. Vue.js has Vue CLI and Nuxt.js, while React has Create React App and Next.js.

Nuxt.js is a free and open-source JavaScript framework based on Vue.js that helps you develop modern web applications using SSR (server-side rendering) which provides a faster load, better SEO (search engine optimization), and better caching capabilities.

We made a LiveChat Next.js App template. Using Next.js as a foundation for the project, we have a front-end app with built-in routing, Server Side Rendering (SSR), and Server Side Generation (SSG) built with React, but on top of that, ready-to-use API routes built in the form of Serverless functions. If you prefer Vue.js or Svelte, you can choose similar frameworks, like Nuxt.js and SvelteKit.

Not oc, but maybe give Nuxt a look?

Vue's docs are some of the best I've ever read. Nuxt and Craft are pretty great too. I especially like how Craft's docs are bifurcated into the docs which give you the 20/80 + code snippets, and the class reference, which is complete documentation of every method, type, param, etc of the platform.

Nuxt - the Vue alternative to NextJS - supports both static site generation and SSR.
