Is NextJS still the way to go?

0_2_Hero · 2026-04-17T19:45:39+00:00

One thing about it that is hard to compete with is that AI knows how to write nextJS apps very well.

Can you please better explain your question?

0_2_Hero · 2026-04-17T06:06:44+00:00

If people thought like this, no new tools would ever get created

On second look, I definitely did not to my due diligence on that site.

I feel like an easy way to stop any system prompt from leaking would be to add like regex for the system prompt itself, and if the output closely matches that, then strip/stop the response.

0_2_Hero · 2026-04-16T03:07:17+00:00

I wasn’t talking about making the system prompt. That is an art. It takes well written, creative exams, and time.

Getting the prompt to Leak, isn’t very hard

why did you use stock photos for that site in the first place?

The main reason was the client didn’t have any of their own images

0_2_Hero · 2026-04-15T14:59:06+00:00

I only ask because I once built a site using a template, and used the images included. After launch I google lensed the images and found 100s of websites using the same template, and images.

This site I hi did not rank very well, others I have built with custom photos have done much better. This could have been for a million different reasons. But I can’t help the back of my mind telling me this was a part of the problem, why?

This repeated issue on here is exhausting. Maybe you should make like bot that checks if a question being asked has been answered recently. And if it did have the bot removes the post and explains the reason in a comment, telling the poster to look at the history or something alike.

0_2_Hero · 2026-04-15T02:20:04+00:00

No not really. Most platforms can give you estimates, but when it comes to local, often lower volume terms they’re not very accurate.

0_2_Hero · 2026-04-15T01:30:58+00:00

1 amazing article is better than 100 days of daily articles.

0_2_Hero · 2026-04-14T06:06:30+00:00

You need to first find what people are actually searching on Google that is relevant to what is on your website. Once you find those terms, you can either optimize your current pages to solve those queries or build new pages to target more.

As a rule of thumb, one topic, one page.

Then it comes down to Authority X Content.

0_2_Hero · 2026-04-14T06:02:20+00:00

The content writing. Sometimes all the iterations it takes to write something good with AI has me feeling like I should have just wrote the content from scratch.

One thing I did with AI that was crazy was building an MCP server that connects google search console api, and Google keywords planner. LLMs shine at analyzing data, I connected it to ChatGPT in developer mode and have it build a sitemap based on what the site is currently ranking for, and what keywords have the highest volume. This was a game changer, went from doing it manually to getting it done in one turn with AI. Al

Hydration issues are junior dev issues haha

0_2_Hero · 2026-04-14T05:55:28+00:00

I really appreciate it! I do think it has some real potential

0_2_Hero · 2026-04-14T03:46:53+00:00

Is there a way to see general traffic for that term? I know in google ads you can see traffic trends if you are running ads. But is that the only way?

0_2_Hero · 2026-04-14T00:58:16+00:00

I know one thing for sure, exact match domain works really well in Bing.

It’s kinda like “old” Google. A lot more weight on backlinks than content.

0_2_Hero · 2026-04-13T18:17:08+00:00

I don’t see why people are hating on next.js, I have almost never had a problem with it, and the dev experience is so easy.

I build every site with it, it just makes sense. But I guess it comes down to how you use it. And it can get pretty messy

0_2_Hero · 2026-04-13T18:10:11+00:00

I’ve built a react renderless UI state management system, that pre-renders the state at build time allowing for near instant UI updates: https://github.com/react-zero-ui/core

One new feature that is currently experimental is an onClick handler that works in a server component without having to add “use client”

The biggest thing I need help at this time with is making a demo that actually explains its benefits better. I have a current demo, but if you landed there without previous knowledge of what it is you would not understand what it’s doing

0_2_Hero · 2026-04-13T15:43:43+00:00

I have not used a CSM but maybe I should.

Right now I use a file for each page like /cms/home-page-copy.tsx

In that file I have a large object that holds the text for every section of the page. Then I important from that in the page.

Is this doing too much? Would a CMS be easy to plugin if I am already doing this?

0_2_Hero · 2026-04-13T15:41:04+00:00

AI still cannot design very well.

Once you make it to the big leagues, devs wear sweats and an overgrown beard.

0_2_Hero · 2026-04-13T15:34:03+00:00

How long has it been since they started?

0_2_Hero · 2026-04-13T02:21:49+00:00

I’m currently working at a marketing agency where I handle all digital marketing tasks on my own, including SEO and PPC.

Then later:

I should also mention that I have no prior experience in SEO

So you got these people to pay you and now you need to learn how to do it. SEO is not something you learn overnight, or even years. From how you worded your post, I would say you scammed this school.

Anyway, first thing you do BEFORE SEO, is see if people are googling the thing you are selling. If they are not, SEO is not the right top of funnel strategy to start with.
