Gatsby vs Next #519
Comments
Yeah, that'd be useful for the website. Both projects definitely have very similar goals and ways of doing things. It seems like a lot of projects are converging on similar ideas. From my quick looks around the main differences seem to be:
|
Am I wrong or Next.js doesn't support static site generation? For me that's a huge bonus of Gatsby. But I guess that's what you meant by dynamic vs static rendering. |
@erlend-sh I don't really think Next.js can be used for that, my understanding is that it would serve HTML markup, not raw JSON data. I might be wrong though. |
My understanding is that DatoCMS, as a static site CMS, would be a perfect fit for Gatsby. I imagine that would require some work with DatoCMS so that Gatsby is part of their supported generators? Since Next.js has dynamic server rendering, Contentful or Prismic would be ideal so that the content fetched from their API is served with the HTML generated by Next.js. @erlend-sh Indeed it looks like Phenomic is a direct alternative to Gatsby. |
@dbismut DatoCMS is already working on that! |
Oh wow very cool :) |
FYI, after discussing with now and Next creator (rauchg) at dotJS about I guess a direct comparison between Gatsby and Next don't really make sense: it will be clearly easier to make static* a website with Gatsby/Phenomic than with next directly (next will never support markdown out of the box (and things like that) as it's a minimalist framework). *WE USE REACT SO IT'S DYNAMIC, right? |
I just wanna say I think that sounds like a really cool direction for Phenomic! Although I have no right to be, it does always bother me a tiny bit when two projects so conceptually and technologically similar - React-based static site generator - can't find a way to collaborate (that's not to say navigating that type of collaboration is easy!). But with this change of direction for Phenomic, you'd be making a fundamentally different type of CMS with its own unique feature offering. ❤️ it! |

@dbismut so about #519 (comment), next now support static exports as well! |
I would love to see a comparison between Gatsby and Next.js, which is a project with similar goals but a different approach. Maybe something like this?
