vinext

A drop-in replacement for the Next.js CLI that runs on Vite instead of the Next.js custom server. Currently at v0.0.44 (pre-1.0, active development with frequent releases every few days). It reimplements the Next.js API surface on top of Vite, supporting both Pages Router and App Router, with HMR, build, deploy to Cloudflare Workers, and standalone self-host output. Key differentiators: AI-assisted development (Claude Code generated most of the code), tight Cloudflare integration. Caveat: experimental, buggy, and lacks full Next.js compatibility. Requires Node >=22 and Vite 7 or 8.
