Their tutorial is incredible, everyone should take a lesson from Vercel on this: https://nextjs.org/learn/foundations/from-react-to-nextjs/ge...

Tell me:

1. What I need to know to understand this documentation

2. The before state (plain React.js)

3. The after state (Next.js)

I'm fucking sold, I'm going to use Next.js just based on how well written this documentation is.

I Understand the euphoria, but this is a pretty bad take.


Is it? Give me an example of a poorly documented yet wildly popular and good software tool built in the last 10 years (No Stockholm Syndrome for old tools allowed!).


The opposite would be a more interesting example to argue against the original statement.


I'm totally biased here but I've been super impressed with the documentation culture at Vercel. Definitely a high high priority internally.


Their tutorial is fine, but personally I'd much rather just see a GitHub repo of a project that covers all the basics (eg. a CRUD app).


Why not both: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples


Their tutorial yields that and gives you a link to the final product on the first step
