Not clear to me from the release notes if there now is an easy way to proxy to a server in development (if you for instance have a Django driven API on port 8000). This is easily done with create-react-app by just adding a line in package.json.

In Next you've had to either set up and configure nginx locally or proxia via an Express server, both options that that are a bit of a hassle to set up for such a common case.

Time and time again, the Next.js (and Zeit) team blow me away. The rate at which they release new, high-quality versions of their products is astounding, especially given how few people are working on this full time -- it's basically just Tim Neutkens, who's insane: he's constantly pushing updates, reviewing PRs, and finds time to be very active on the support channel.

We use a bunch of Zeit's tools (particularly Next.js and its static export feature) at Common (https://www.common.com -- we're hiring!), and they're consistently such good and reliable products (doesn't hurt that they have a sharp focus on developer experience).

Congrats to Tim and to the entire Zeit team!

when looking at tools to build a business on, that can be a liability no?

Fair, but my confidence in it stems from the giant community around Next.js. Zeit, a company with a good reputation among developers, works on it full time. It has contributions from other big-name OSS contributors and big companies (Netflix, Hulu, Nike, Ticketmaster, Jet, Auth0, Marvel, etc.). It's definitely a liability if it were truly just one individual developing it, but I suppose it's more that there's a small core of facilitators, with a giant OSS community around it.

Which backend solution that isn't a service/CMS, but is more streamlined than Express or Koa would you recommend for solo devs going with Next.js? Is there something like a preferred full stack solution involving next.js on the frontend?

Completely agree! I have used next.js in multiple projects now and have gotten very fast turnaround on any submitted issues. Love the product and the team!

What's the closest framework for Vue.js and how close is it in terms of functionality?

Asking because Next.js has been one of the reasons I've become more interested in the React ecosystem.
