Awesome to hear. I have been working through their really fun and interactive tutorial. Easy to follow as well. After doing a lot of research on various frameworks, I think Next.js is where I will be focusing 90% of my web development time.

I look forward to reading more about your journey. You just gained a follower ;)

God Bless!

Thanks, Joshua, I agree with you regarding Next.js probably being my focus for Web projects, I do like to explore lots of options but this feels like the one I need now for my site rebuild.

Following you back bud :)
