Next.js is a powerful React framework that makes building full-stack web applications a breeze.
## Why Next.js?
- **Server-side rendering** out of the box
- **App Router** for nested layouts and server components
- **Built-in optimizations** for images, fonts, and scripts
## Getting started
Run the following to scaffold a new project:
```bash
npx create-next-app@latest my-app
```
That's it — you're off to the races.
