Hey everyone! I've set up the backend for my project using Spring Boot, complete with REST APIs and JWT authentication for both users and admins. Users can register vehicles, order spare parts, and manage their profiles, while admins have permission to view and delete users, vehicles, and orders. Now I'm diving into the frontend and I'm a bit torn between React and Next.js. What's your take on which frontend stack would work best with a JWT-based Spring Boot backend?

It seems a bit off to focus too much on the backend when choosing a frontend. The whole idea of using REST APIs is that the frontend can be anything you like! If you're looking at options, Next.js has a robust community and a lot of libraries available, though I've found it can be a bit complex. SvelteKit is super easy to use, but has a smaller community. Vue strikes a nice balance between the two. Ultimately, it just comes down to personal preference! I personally enjoy using HTMX with Go, but that's just me.
SvelteKit is a solid option! It's user-friendly and can integrate easily. Definitely check it out if you want something less complicated than React or Next.js.
Is it easy to integrate with my Spring Boot setup?
