  • prerender

    Node server that uses Headless Chrome to render a javascript-rendered page as HTML. To be used in conjunction with prerender middleware.

  • I've used both Next.js + Nuxt (for Vue)... but personally found that SSR adds in extra complexity and odd edge cases here and there (especially when adding in 3rd party components that might not have been tested as well with SSR)... and I've decided to go down the "dynamic rendering" path instead with: https://github.com/prerender/prerender

  • nextron

    ⚡ Next.js + Electron ⚡

  • A second thought, I would not use create-react-app for bootstraping a project today. NextJs works pretty well and you can customize... It's even possible to use nextjs in an electron app. See https://github.com/saltyshiomix/nextron. And also prefer typescript from the start if possible.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
