#Do I need a start, or is just router enough?

Hi all! I’m planning my next web app (a spare-time project). I enjoy working with SPAs because they’re straightforward and avoid unnecessary complexity. The app is behind a login, so I don’t need SEO.
I’m wondering: do I need start, or is using just router enough? Could start offer other benefits, like server caching or performance improvements? I’d prefer to keep the frontend clean and focused, without adding the complexity of a full-stack app unless it’s really worth it. Thanks!

do you have a separate backend?

#

if you don't need SSR nor a backend I would go with just router

Thanks! I’ll be creating my own backend, DB and all.

#

Not sure if this is a common dilemma, but maybe it’s worth adding to the docs or FAQ?

Same thing here
I will be switching a pet project of mine from Starr to Router, simply because i need PWA support.
SPA's just makes Building Frontend Applications so simple

Not sure if we could just use Tanstack Start and set ssr to false, wouls the end result be the same - SPA?
