Integrating Ruby on Rails with Modern SPAs
Compared to gems like React on Rails or Intertia Rails, the current gem is just an installer and does virtually nothing to modify or add features to React Router. This is a great advantage and ensures that frontend developers will feel right at home.

Considering moving from NextJS to Rails
You should take a look at https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails. I created that repo back in 2015 and it's still going strong. Popmenu.com uses it and we've got 5,000 restaurant chains on the Rails monolith and huge traffic and transaction volume. Check out the html source of a popmenu site, like https://110grill.com. You'll see react-on-rails in the source.

Best project setup for Rails+React with "remember me" feature
The problem is I have no idea how to implement the "remember me" feature in that gem without just making the tokens not refresh for a very long time (I think that would be a security concern). So then I looked more into react_on_rails to just use sessions with Devise as a normal rails app, but I don't know if I'll be able to deploy that on AWS because of the changes I have to do to the webpacker/webpack config to allow for a better folder structure. I've never done that so I don't know if there may be any issues.

Does anyone know a way to make a React with Rails application SEO friendly?
https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails - It was last updated 2 months ago & can do prerendering. I'm not sure why more people aren't suggesting this.
