Next.js solves the hard thing of server rendering + frontend hydration of JS components.

So if that's the battery that you need, pretty much nothing else has it except for Next.js.

These days, I tend to want a web framework to do the hard things for me rather than the tedious/boilerplate but simple things like email-sending.

Right so if you built your own sync engine why would you use next.js?
Well, if you went so far as to reimplement Next.js, I don't think you're using Rails either.

And frankly I'd like to see it since that's a really hard problem to just roll your own solution. And probably a huge waste of time if you're trying to ship a real product on top of it.
