single-page application versus server side rendering (LOTS OF CONTENT: products, texts)
NEXT JS runs in a node server. It does not replace a full-blown backend server, as it is a server with the unique purpose of rendering a layout.
NextJS works with routes. How does pure react work with routes?
_app works as a route manager, and will generate the page asked by the user. It reruns every time a user loads a new page.
in NextJS, all images should live in the public folder. You can import them without giving the full path as source
center text vertically: by setting line height to the same size of height.
css ::after adds an element after the content, before the HTML tag closes
react icons plugin
one-sided auto margins
API calls using the state + useEffect technique we've learned, only happen at a browser level. That means, the page will be rendered first and then the call will happen, causing a design shift and making items invisible to bots and crawlers. Calls can (and in this case, should, happen in the server)
SSR with nextJS by using getServerSideProps
Intl API: internationalization API, provides NumberFormat and DateTimeFormat, for dealing natively with currencies, percentages and dates
