November 1, 2023 By Mark Otto 0

Next.js 14 Released — Unveiled at last week’s Next.js Conf, Next 14 caused a disproportionate amount of discussion on social media over relatively small changes, mostly surrounding Server Actions being declared stable and the style of development they make possible.

However, this article makes a good case for changing that perception, particularly when it comes to user interaction.
