This is also how I build most of my static sites, usually deployed to GitHub Pages. For example, here’s the demo page for a library I recently developed: https://exogen.github.io/turbo-colormap/

Or a more complicated app: https://exogen.github.io/t2-model-skinner/

Are all of Next.js’ features overkill for such sites? Sure, but the convenience such frameworks provide is worth it. And the reason to prefer it over something like Vite is simply routing, which Vite doesn’t cover out of the box, so as soon as I want to add a second page, I now have another problem to solve.

Next.js’ best feature is simply that you’re up and running with `npm i react react-dom next` and step two is just writing the pages.
