## The idea behind the example

This example uses [Nerv](https://nerv.aotu.io/) instead of React. It's a "blazing fast React alternative, compatible with IE8 and React 16". Here we've customized Next.js to use Nerv instead of React.

Here's how we did it:

* Use `next.config.js` to customize our webpack config to support [Nerv](https://nerv.aotu.io/)
