Hey @the404packet, the issue you created is actually really good.
But have you checked issue #1521, the pinned one? Actually, I want someone to completely migrate the frontend Next.js project to TypeScript, and then your issue about migrating the backend and converting it to Flask is also a great idea.
What I’m thinking is that it would be even better if both migrations could happen together. If you know someone who might be interested, you guys can discuss it together and work on it collaboratively.
You can also join the WhatsApp group for easier discussion.
And I wanted to ask one more thing right now our Next.js website is in .js format and it’s serverless, right? So if we migrate the backend to Flask, will we need to keep the backend and frontend in separate folders/projects, or can it still stay like it is now, where both the backend server and frontend server run from the same root folder? Would it work the same way with a Flask Python backend too?

Hi @mdazfar2, sorry for the late reply. Been busy past days.
Next.js and Flask will run separately. We can make it run together by dockerizing them.
We can go ahead with frontend migration first,
I suggest this workflow for migrations
Migrate individual pages first.
Integrate those pages means linking the pages
We can start with backend migration then
But before this we need to setup a proper CI/CD for this so that all pushes are monitored.
Should I proceed with this, I will create the respective issues.
