FAQ
Can I showcase both Pages Router and App Router code?
Absolutely! Our syntax highlighter supports both Next.js routing paradigms. For App Router content, the code highlighting properly renders async components, Server Components, and metadata APIs. For Pages Router, it handles getStaticProps, getServerSideProps, and traditional page components perfectly.
What template works best for Next.js SaaS launches?
For product launches, we recommend the 'Minimalist' or 'Split' template. These provide clean, professional layouts that work great for marketing content. Use the Next.js logo prominently, add a compelling headline about your product, and consider including supporting tech icons like Vercel, Stripe, or your database of choice.
How do I create images for Next.js performance content?
For performance-focused content, use the 'Code Snippet' template to showcase your optimization code, or use metrics-focused templates to highlight performance improvements. Dark themes like 'Ocean' or 'Aurora' work great for technical performance content and provide excellent contrast for code.
Should I include Vercel in Next.js images?
If your content involves deployment, hosting, or you're leveraging Vercel-specific features (like Edge Functions, Analytics, or Speed Insights), adding the Vercel icon alongside Next.js helps viewers understand the full context. For pure Next.js framework content, the Next.js logo alone is sufficient.
