Overview

The Next.js Static Generator Boilerplate provides developers with a streamlined solution for building static websites without the need for a running server. Initially designed for version 7 of Next.js, this boilerplate has faced challenges following updates to version 8, which have rendered parts of its implementation outdated. Despite these changes, it offers a valuable starting point for those looking to leverage Next.js for static site generation while minimizing unnecessary JavaScript dependencies.

This boilerplate comes equipped with two example pages: an index page devoid of client-side React components and a credits page that includes a simple clock. This demonstrates how effectively the framework can operate with reduced load times, focusing solely on essential features.
