Creating a NextJS client and blueprint: How difficult would this be?

[riceconfetti]

Hi everyone, just looking for some advice and thoughts from people who've worked with NextJs before. I'm currently working on hacking together an blueprint for react to change the bootstrap design to IBM's Carbon design for work and while discussing with my boss about the changes we wanted to make to the front-end for our application, migrating from webpack to something more performant came up and with the official react tutorial for Carbon being a NextJs tutorial, we decided to test out how hard it would be to migrate the blueprint fully over to Nextjs.

I've spent maybe a day to 2 reading through the documentation on NextJS and Jhipster's blueprint along with doing a few hacked together tests and the big problem I've been running into has been the file structure as I don't want to break Jhipster conventions but it doesn't seem like Nextjs likes being located in a more nested folder. I haven't used React nor NextJs enough to know if this is a hard stop problem or something that can be worked around but if anyone could share their thoughts, I would really appreciate it.
