next-wordpress-starter VS faustjs

Colby Fayock has also created some interesting content with demos and creating a starter kit. Next.js with WordPress Starter Kit

This is a similar pattern we've seen in a few popular WordPress starters such as Colby Fayock's and WebDevStudios. While this pattern feels intuitive, it can actually be problematic.

Next-wordpress-starter

While you can’t do this out of the box with Next.js, there are plugins to help, such as the Next.js Sitemap Generator or a custom approach like the one I added to my Next.js WordPress Starter.

We'll be using Colby Fayock's Next.js WordPress Starter in this walkthrough (https://github.com/colbyfayock/next-wordpress-starter/). This Next.js WordPress Starter project aims to "take WordPress as a headless CMS and use Next.js to create a static experience that can be deployed anywhere."

Yeah, in hindsight, we would have used Next/Vercel. So we're tactically moving over to that. There are many new frameworks, like Astro, that are really exciting, but it seems like Next is the best choice if you have a data-heavy app that has a dynamic mix of SSR and static pages. For Wordpress in particular, I'd recommend that you check out Faust.js. It's build with Next and I'm amazed by how well it works with Wordpress without much effort: https://faustjs.org/

https://faustjs.org is a great headless Wordpress solution for Nextjs. I've tried several CMS solutions and ultimately WordPress is invariably the friendliest option from a client perspective.

I'm working through a large project where we're leveraging WordPress and Next.js. Check out Faust.js (https://faustjs.org/) which works as a layer to handle a lot of the query/template/routing stuff that maybe isn't super-intuitive when trying to hook WordPress up headlessly...

- FaustJS (built for headless WP on NextJS w/ full site editing capabilities)

Faust.js is the front-end JavaScript framework built on top of Next.js, created to make developing headless WordPress sites easier. The idea of this new version is to make a parity between the WordPress world that a developer might be used to but replicate it as much as possible in the JavaScript front-end world.

This is where it started. Then there is also Faustjs started by WPEngine. https://faustjs.org/
