Preact example

This is a fully working example of Next.js running on Preact instead of React.

This reduces the base JavaScript weight of pages to 30kb (or far lower with additional Webpack optimizations).

How to use

Clone this repo and run npm install:

git clone git@github.com:developit/next-preact

The example takes advantage of npm/yarn aliases, which essentially allow installing preact/compat at node_modules/react.

Here's how this example repo was set up:

Set up a basic Next.js app using create-next-app
Install preact, uninstall react and react-dom.
Install preact-compat/react and preact-compat/react-dom for aliasing.
Use an npm alias to replace react-ssr-prepass with preact-ssr-prepass (also works with Yarn).
