Getting Started with Next.js 14

Next.js 14 introduces the App Router, a new way to build React applications with improved performance and developer experience.

What's New

The App Router brings several improvements:

  • Server Components by default for better performance
  • Improved data fetching with async components
  • Better TypeScript support out of the box
  • Streaming and Suspense for faster page loads

Building Your First Page

Creating a page in the App Router is simple. Just create a page.tsx file in your route directory:

export default function Page() {
  return <h1>Hello, Next.js!</h1>;
}

Adding Images

You can easily add images to your blog posts using Markdown syntax:
