Why I picked Nuxt 4 for my site
When I rebuilt my personal site I wanted three things: fast content, good developer experience, and the freedom to add server logic when needed. Nuxt 4 covers all three.
Hybrid rendering, not a compromise
Content pages are pre-rendered at build time, while the Node server stays alive for anything dynamic.
- Static pages where speed matters
- A real server where logic is needed (forms, proxy, API)
- A single deploy to manage
DX that doesn't fight you
Auto-importing components and composables removes a mountain of boilerplate:
<script setup lang="ts">
const { t } = useI18n()
useHead({ title: t('home.title') })
</script>
No manual imports, no dependency lists to keep in sync. You write the code that matters.
A cohesive ecosystem
Nuxt UI, Content, i18n, and Image speak the same language. I'm not gluing together ten libraries that hate each other: it's a system, and it shows.
FAQ
Is Nuxt 4 production-ready?
Yes. I run artysan.me on it with hybrid rendering (static pages + a live Node server). v4 consolidates the `app/` srcDir and refines DX while staying compatible with the Nuxt ecosystem.
Hybrid rendering or full static?
Hybrid. Content is pre-rendered at build for speed, but the Node server stays alive for dynamic bits (forms, proxy, APIs). A single deploy to manage.
