Can we use Laravel as a Next.js alternative?

The Laravel ecosystem continues to grow and add a breadth of new features recently with packages like Folio and Volt.

That combined with the resurgence of modern PHP means that Laravel could very well be a solid alternative to Next.js if you're looking for a framework to build rich interactive websites and reliable applications.

In this video, I build a super basic blog to show off some of the big features that Next.js presents with, like page-based routing, markdown content, static-site generation, and single file components.
