taxonomy VS Next.js

I am building this app with inspiration from Taxonomy and Acme corp so a lot of the design comes from there.

Now, I must confess that I'm primarily a back-end engineer, and crafting a beautiful front-end was, well, a bit of an adventure. To keep things straightforward, I opted for simplicity. I figured I could enhance it as my customer base grew, as the real value, of course, lies in the robustness of the API and its backend. Looking back, I might consider using a template like https://tx.shadcn.com/ if I were to start all over again. It appears to be a great starting point for any SaaS, but the setup might pose some challenges.

Check out these two GitHub repositories: https://github.com/sadmann7/skateshop/ and https://github.com/shadcn/taxonomy/. They both use Next.js 13 and have well-structured folders and well-written code. Next.js provides performance optimization. To improve it further, avoid loading unnecessary items and use a CDN for fast content delivery. Both not loading unnecessary content & lazy loading) and CDN is 2 individual topics to dive into.

I've also been inspired by this repo, but the Vercel template seems more achievable for me at this point.

In addition to the repository I mentioned in my original post, I've also been inspired by another repository (Taxonomy Repo) which has implemented a similar Stripe integration. However, this one is a bit more complex and I'm finding the Vercel template to be more achievable for my current skill level.

I'm currently working on a Next.js project where I'm trying to integrate Stripe for payments and webhooks. I've been following the Taxonomy GitHub repo for guidance, particularly for setting up the app router and the lib files.

Next.js: For the website and the admin dashboard

Until the time of writing, there is no official example of how to enable runtime environmental variables in a Dockerized Next.js app, as utilizing unstable_noStore would only dynamically evaluate variables on the server (node.js runtime). There is also an interesting discussion regarding this topic on GitHub.

next.js is a very popular React framework. remix-adonisjs includes more functionality through the AdonisJS backend ecosystem, and should be easier to self-host and self-manage.

Remember to start the Next.js server with pnpm dev.

We want to share with you the best testing setup we've experienced - and this includes using Playwright and NextJS. It's a setup we've come up with for Infinite React DataGrid, which is a complex component, with lots of things to test, but this configuration has helped us ship with more confidence and speed.

If you're acquainted with NextJs, the directives will come as no surprise.
