Honestly, this doesn’t sound like a bad idea at all! Next.js is great for frontend, and Django is super powerful for backend, especially for AI/ML stuff. The main challenge would be making Django feel as seamless as Node.js does with Next.js, especially with API routes and SSR. But if you can figure out a good DX, it could actually be really useful for AI devs who want a smoother frontend experience without dealing with Node. Would love to see a proof of concept!

Thanks. Yes those are exactly what I am thinking but you described way better than me! Plus there are so many reactjs template that AI devs could pick up. The difficulty would be how to make the django portion easier for reactjs dev to use and reactjs portion easier for python dev to handle.
