  "description": "Use output:export to ship Next.js as pure static files, capturing React ecosystem traffic without server-side dependencies.",
  "keyword": "Next.js in practice",
  "summary": "Next.js is the dominant React meta-framework. output:export produces pure static output, but the core engine here is still Astro — Next pages exist here only for comparison and traffic capture. Three steps: (1) set output:export in next.config; (2) set images.unoptimized=true to disable server-side image optimization; (3) next build then next export to produce out/. Bottom line up front: when you need the React ecosystem but want pure static hosting, output:export is the lowest-friction path. Common pitfalls are using dynamic-route server data fetching or middleware under export mode, and forgetting images.unoptimized which breaks the export.",

      "a": "For content sites and bulk long-tail pages, prefer Astro (zero-JS first paint). For heavy interactive apps, look at Next."
