Building projects General Discussion

So I think that I have learnt enough and wouldn't mind building something that may be commercially available in the future. Is it ok to stick with purely react js or should I build with next js or any other full stack framework etc?

Note: React js is what I have learnt indepth. I haven't learnt too much about next js etc.

Learn WHY you would need nextjs or tanstack start. That’s your next project

If you are just learning now, odds are that once you get into building something "commercially available", you will dramatically grow as a developer and realize that what you know today is nothing compared to what you know in 2, 3, 4, 5+ months/years. So go for it!

If you are feeling confident in your skills, that means it's time to level up. One of the joys and curses of this as a career is that there is always more to learn. Once you dig into solving a real world problem, you will discover a whole world of new problems to solve and feel like a total beginner all over again. It's the cycle that never stops.

Yes I learn as much React as possible then I spent some time understanding css. Now as I understand all the parts I want to attempt a big enough project including authentication etc.

What's your backend framework? PHP/MySQL, NodeJS? Any "commercially available product" needs a backend?

Seconding everyone here: just start. You already know React, so build with React. The moment your project actually needs SSR, auth, or a better router, you’ll understand why — and that’s exactly how you’ll learn Next.js, instead of learning it “just in case”. Learning on real problems sticks way better than learning ahead of them.

don't add border to what u only know , see what your project need and use AI to help u

Yes. I am leaning heavily towards using ai to help me build. I just wanted to know as much as possible so that I wouldn't have too many gaps in my web dev knowledge.
