Project mention: Is Next a good choice to rebuild my portfolio site with or would this be considered overkill? | reddit.com/r/nextjs | 2022-01-15
NextJS does have static exports, but it's more meant to be used as a kind of supplement alongside SSR - ex, SSR (server sided rendering) pages for different pieces of data, but the landing page that's always consistent ends up being SSG (static site generation). It's kind of a "yep we can do this, but it's not really the point of the framework" situation. If you really want to use this as a learning opportunity for React and are learning towards the static site side of things, you might want to look at Gatsby as that's laser focused that, and is the de-facto go-to with React for SSG.

After reading your post again and this comment, I don't think Jekyll is the best choice. Something like GitBook, MkDocs, or Docsify would be a better solution as they let you control the organization and flow much better.

If you indeed have more than 10 users, then you can't use Community+, so you won't have the ability to natively export content as PDF.
