How to choose between Next.js and Remix for a SaaS MVP?

by Jamie Winstead1mo ago172 views6 repliestech-stacknextjsremixsaas

Starting a new SaaS project and stuck on framework choice. I have experience with React but have not used either Next.js or Remix in production. The product is a B2B dashboard with auth, team management, and data visualization. Any strong opinions on which is better for this use case?

Controversial take: it does not matter that much. Pick either one and start building. The framework choice is maybe 5% of your success. The other 95% is whether people want your product. I have shipped products with both and the bottleneck was never the framework.

Next.js has a larger ecosystem and more deployment options. Vercel makes deployment trivial. The App Router is stable now and server components are great for dashboards with lots of data. I would go Next.js for B2B SaaS. Remix is solid technically but the ecosystem is smaller and you will find fewer tutorials and examples for common SaaS patterns.

Agree with Cecily. Next.js + Supabase is my go-to stack. For a dashboard app specifically, server components are perfect - you can fetch data on the server and stream it to the client. Less client-side state management headaches.
