Great work on App Router! I’d love to see simpler examples for beginners.

Goals

1. Appreciate the new App Router implementation.
2. Suggest easier onboarding with beginner-friendly docs/examples.
3. Encourage broader adoption from junior developers.

Non-Goals

1. Not asking for a redesign of the router itself.
2. Not suggesting to remove existing advanced features.
3. Not requesting specific timelines or roadmap changes.

Background

The App Router is powerful, but I’ve seen beginners struggle with concepts like nested layouts, shared states, or loading strategies. Other frameworks often lead with simplified guides or visuals to hook new users early. I think this would benefit Next.js too.

Proposal

Adding a few beginner-oriented App Router examples in the official docs or starter repo would really help. These could show simple layouts, shared loading states, and how to use dynamic routes clearly. I’d love to contribute to this if guidance is available!

Totally agree with this. The App Router has a lot of great capabilities, but the learning curve can be steep for folks just starting out—especially when they run into concepts like nested layouts or parallel routes early on.

Having a few beginner-focused examples in the official docs would really help bridge that gap. Things like:

• A minimal layout + page structure without too much abstraction

• A clear example of shared loading states

• How dynamic routes work without adding too much complexity upfront

It could also be helpful to tag certain examples as "beginner-friendly" so newcomers know where to start.

If there's a community effort or open issue for contributions in this area, I'd be interested as well. Would be great to make onboarding smoother for more people.
