Needs advice
on
Next.jsNext.js
and
Nuxt.jsNuxt.js

SaaS project and need to decide on a front-end framework. Will use Node.js for restful API services, and PostgreSQL for the database. Possibly introduce Prisma/Apollo if required. Infrastructure is likely to be AWS. This is a business to business SaaS project, not the consumer. 1-2K potential org subscribers, where the orgs are small businesses with 1-15 employees. The product would be used daily, mostly serving the North American market. I'm struggling with what front-end framework. I lean towards Vue.js/ Nuxt.js as it's what I have the most experience with, it's an easier learning curve for new inexperienced developers, and it had great growth in recent years. However, React/Next.js are established frameworks, with a larger community but a steeper learning curve (if I can't get intermediate to senior react developers) and I haven't worked with it. I'm looking for not answers, but advice from the community regarding what other factors I should be considering when deciding. This is a new project (not a re-write of an existing one). Appreciate everyone's feedback.

Nuxt.js

If you have the most experience with Nuxt, I'd use that. Speed and familiarity are much more important for getting your project off the ground than maturity of the framework in my opinion.
