Top 10 Next.js projects for Beginner

In this article, I'll tell you about the top 10 next.js projects to build as a next developer.

Next.js is a popular Web Development framework for Frontend developed by Vercel, It is a JavaScript Library used to develop multi-page web apps using JavaScript on the Server Side or pre-render the contents on the server itself in just plain HTML which helps the user to load WebPage faster than even React.js itself. Its advantage over React.js is enough to use it but it also provides SEO in-built no need to install any other plugins, unlike React.js.

It has been used to create some best Front-end projects as well as Our Website ( codedamn.com ) is built using Next.js only. In this article, we'll talk about the top 10 Projects that you can build to skill up your Next.js knowledge.
