My portfolio website is nearly complete, and I’ll be sharing visuals soon. A developer friend visited me today and, while reviewing my site, suggested I should have used Next.js instead of plain React. I responded that it’s not a big deal since Next.js is built on top of React. This got me thinking—why do developers often hype specific frameworks while overlooking the importance of core fundamentals? It also raises an interesting question: why is Next.js increasingly preferred over React in today’s development landscape? I’ll be exploring this in my next post.

Time to address this and let everyone know the reason why is Next.js increasingly preferred over Plain React today

Next.js is increasingly preferred over plain React because it enhances React with powerful features like server-side rendering (SSR), static site generation (SSG), built-in routing, and API routes—all out of the box—making it more suitable for production-ready applications. While React is a library for building UI components, Next.js is a full-fledged framework that simplifies setup, improves performance (especially for SEO and page load speed), and streamlines development with features like image optimization, file-based routing, and automatic code splitting. This makes it an ideal choice for developers and teams looking to build fast, scalable, and SEO-friendly web apps with minimal configuration.

Project: This is a personal project I built in my free time for fellow movie and series enthusiasts like myself. The website lets you explore the latest films and TV shows, along with details such as genre, cast, trailers, release dates, and more

Project 7: As a frontend developer, understanding how APIs work is essential. Think of an API (Application Programming Interface) as a messenger—it delivers data requests from one application to another and returns the appropriate responses. APIs are the backbone of seamless user experiences in modern web applications.

In one of my recent projects, I developed a dynamic movie and series discovery platform. This web application allows users to explore a wide range of movies and TV shows, filtering them by release date, genre, ratings, and more. Users can also view trailers, cast details (including photos and bios of actors and actresses), and other relevant information.

To bring this platform to life, I integrated the TMDB (The Movie Database) API, enabling real-time data fetching for an engaging and up-to-date user experience. One of the key features of the platform is user authentication—visitors are required to sign up or log in to access the core functionalities of the app.

Whether you're a movie buff or a casual viewer, this web app offers a visually appealing and user-friendly interface that enhances the way you explore and enjoy entertainment content.

I'll soon be sharing screenshots of the beautiful interface and features.
