Modern web development is dominated by tools like Next.js, but most of them rely heavily on Node.js, npm, and complex build systems. I wanted something simpler. Faster. More efficient. So I built NexGo — a Go-powered web framework inspired by Next.js. ⚡ What is NexGo? NexGo brings the developer experience of Next.js into the Go ecosystem. It allows you to build full-stack web applications using: File-based routing Server-side rendering (SSR) API routes Hot reload Static site generation All compiled into a single binary — no runtime dependencies, no Node.js. 🔥 Why NexGo? Most modern frameworks come with overhead: ❌ Node.js runtime ❌ Heavy dependencies ❌ Complex build pipelines With NexGo: ✅ No Node.js ✅ No npm ✅ Zero dependencies ✅ Blazing fast performance (~50K req/sec) ✅ Simple deployment (just one binary) 🧠 How It Works NexGo uses a file-based routing system, similar to Next.js.
