Steve Faulkner(@southpolesteve):oops, I did it again. I slopforked Vinext (itself a slopfork of Next.js) into Nextane: the Next.js Pages Router rebuilt entirely on @octanejs Vinext = Next.js without Turbopack Nextane = Vinext without React Biggest win is initial client JS: Next.js: 109.9 KiB gzip Vinext: 77.8 KiB gzip Nextane: 41.0 KiB gzip Not exactly shocking given Octane’s pitch is compiled React, but still fun!
