pnext

A fast little framework for server-first React apps, fully compatible with Next.js.

The numbers, not the adjectives

Incremental by design: you can start with no JavaScript at all and pay only for the features you add, including React and Next.js compatibility.

Start in one line

Create an app, or point pnext at one you already have.

# new app
$ bunx @wular/pnext@latest create my-app

# or migrate an existing Next.js app in place
$ bunx @wular/pnext@latest migrate

Migrate rewrites your scripts and config, scans your source, and reports anything worth a look. It never edits your code. Full walkthrough in Getting Started.

Climb the compat ladder

Start wherever your app already is. Move up only when it suits you.
