If you told me two years ago that I’d be writing React code daily and loving it, I would’ve laughed. I was deep into Vue — and honestly, it’s still a great framework. But after making the switch to React (especially with Next.js 14 ), I don’t regret a thing. Here’s my honest take as someone who’s lived on both sides. 🔄 Why I Used Vue (and Still Respect It) Simple syntax & fast learning curve Vue’s template-based approach was super intuitive when I was starting out. Great official tools Vue CLI, Vue Router, Vuex — everything felt neatly packaged. Excellent for solo projects Especially SPAs that didn’t need SSR or advanced routing. But eventually… I hit some walls. 🚧 Why I Switched to React Job Market & Ecosystem Let’s be real — React dominates job boards, open-source projects, and tutorials. I wanted to grow as a developer and earn. Next.js Changed Everything Server-side rendering, API routes, image optimization, SEO — all in one stack. Vue has Nux...

 In 2025, creating a blog that generates real income is not only possible — it’s easier than ever for developers. In this post, I’ll walk you through how I built a niche tech blog using React tools and monetized it using Google AdSense , all as a solo developer. 🧠 Step 1: Choosing a Niche I Actually Care About I focused on AI + Web Development , a topic I genuinely enjoy writing about.

A narrow but growing niche is perfect for long-term SEO and traffic. ⚙️ Step 2: Setting Up the Blog Stack While I originally considered a CMS like WordPress, I went with a lightweight React stack instead. What I used: Frontend: Next.js 14 (app router + server actions) Styling: Tailwind CSS Markdown Support: MDX for blog posts Deployment: Vercel (free tier!) Analytics: Plausible for privacy-friendly traffic tracking This gave me full control over layout, SEO, performance, and code — while keeping ...

 In the ever-evolving world of web development, the landscape of JavaScript frameworks and libraries has witnessed significant shifts over the years. One of the most notable transitions is the shift from traditional vanilla JavaScript (JS) to more modern, component-based frameworks like React. This change has reshaped the way developers build web applications, providing a more efficient and organized approach to front-end development. The Era of Vanilla JavaScript For many years, vanilla JavaScript was the go-to solution for building web applications. It was simple, lightweight, and provided the core functionality needed for most web projects. Developers could directly manipulate the DOM (Document Object Model), add interactivity, and build websites from scratch using just plain JavaScript. However, as web applications grew in complexity, maintaining vanilla JS code became increasingly difficult. There were no built-in tools for managing state, components, or reactivity, which l...
