The idea behind the example

This example uses Preact instead of React. It's a React like UI framework which is fast and small. Here we've customized Next.js to use Preact instead of React.

Here's how we did it:

• Use next.config.js to customize our webpack config by aliasing React to preact/compat
• Use server.js to make our server use Preact by aliasing React to preact/compat
