Hi Peter, This is a great idea! I wanted to work on this use case as I use quite extensively Tapestry in some projects and Nextjs on other projects. But for heavy backend use I really prefer Tapestry. It avoids streaming tones of javascript to the frontend. I would really like to tightly integrate both and get rid of jQuery. Call Tapestry page action listeners directly from React using helpers, build dynamic forms and components with react, and synchronise them with Tapestry etc.
Great work!
