nowThe idea behind the example
Next.js was conceived to make it easy to create universal apps. That's why fetching data on the server and the client when necessary it's so easy with Next.
Using getInitialProps we will fetch data in the server for SSR and then in the client only when the component is re-mounted but not in the first paint.
