Introduction

Welcome to the N-Keys Documentation!

N-Keys has recently undergone a major architectural migration, transitioning from a classic React Client-Side Rendered (CSR) application into a full-stack Next.js (App Router) application.

Why Next.js?​

The shift to Next.js brings several immediate benefits to the N-Keys ecosystem:

  • Server-Side Rendering (SSR): The public landing pages (/, /contact, /feature, /roadmap) are now pre-rendered on the server, ensuring blazing fast load times and optimal SEO indexing.
  • Route Protection: Next.js Middleware acts as a gatekeeper, intercepting requests to sensitive areas (like the /dashboard) at the Edge, ensuring zero-latency auth checks.
  • Improved Data Fetching: By utilizing Server Components and Route Handlers, N-Keys can communicate securely with its API (https://secrets.nekonik.com) without exposing tokens to the browser unnecessarily.
