## The idea behind the example
This example uses [Preact](https://github.com/developit/preact) instead of React. It's a React like UI framework which 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 to support [preact-compat](https://github.com/developit/preact-compat)
