Yeah the solution is no framework and have an AI generate your front end
3 comments

Sounds great until someone else needs to maintain it. I'd never want to touch a codebase like that...
Does that actually work? I can’t imagine trying to find a bug in a sea of AI generated JS
I second that. React is not needed anymore, much less nextjs. People should break free from these shackles
But using what, just js + html + css, for anything moderately complex this will become impossible. Even all AI agents will have easier time using some framework as it will be easier to comprehend most likely

It won't. You actually remove complexity by removing unnecessary dependencies.

You can organize your code the same way you would with React: components, state management, reactivity. It is all there within JS+HTML+CSS without 100kbytes of minified JS.
