Episode notes
Nuxt.js vs Next.js
- An Australian web design agency misheard "Next.js" as "Nuxt.js" due to an accent.
- They then built the project using Nuxt.js, unintentionally.
Initial Benefits of Meta-Frameworks
- Meta-frameworks initially simplified complex configurations like Webpack and routing for developers.
- They also provided server-side rendering (SSR) capabilities for frameworks like React and Vue.js.
Tree-Shaking and Bundle Size
- Vue 3's Composition API allows importing features only when needed, enabling tree-shaking and smaller bundles.
- This allows meta-frameworks like Nuxt.js to offer extensive features without bloating projects.
