Hey everyone! I've completed my backend using Spring Boot, which includes features like REST APIs, JWT authentication, and user roles. Users can register vehicles and manage their profiles, while admins can manage users, vehicles, and orders. Now, I'm looking to build out the frontend but I'm torn between using React and Next.js. What's your recommendation for a solid frontend stack that integrates smoothly with a JWT-based Spring Boot backend?

In my opinion, your choice should depend on what you feel comfortable with since you've built a backend that exposes an API. Both React and Next.js are solid, but they have different strengths. Next.js has a larger community and provides server-side rendering, which is great for SEO. However, it can be quite complex. React is straightforward and gives you full control, plus it works well for dashboard-like applications. Ultimately, it boils down to your needs—pick whatever feels right for your project!
What about SvelteKit? I hear it's easy to use.
