Deep dives

The Evolution of Next.js and Its Core Design Principles

Next.js started as a hobby project called N4, initially built for for-selling properties. It later shifted to using React as its component model and embraced file system-based routing. This routing approach allowed for more granular code splitting by bundling each page as a separate JavaScript bundle. The core values of Next.js, such as zero setup and a file system as an API, have been upheld throughout its evolution. The recent release of 13.4 introduces the stable app router, which further enhances Next.js' adherence to its core design principles.
