N8n raises $180M

Looking for the best React SSR + SPA stack in 2025? The Reddit dev crowd is leaning away from Next.js, but not entirely.

Here’s the TL;DR from the thread:

TanStack Start (still in RC) is getting strong praise for DX and flexibility, especially if you're coming from a Nuxt background.

React Router (Framework Mode) is also a popular pick, with simple SSR toggling and a familiar routing setup.

Next.js is still in the mix, some love it for its power and flexibility, others find self-hosting it frustrating or overkill.

A few shoutouts to Astro and Waku, and advice to go Vite-based if you want simplicity and control.

In short: TanStack Start and React Router are rising stars, Next.js isn’t dead, but it’s no longer the default.

My favorite part of coding is that I get to figure things out. I hate having to let some AI do my favorite parts. If anything I like to use it as an autocomplete. Leave the fun for me.
