Description
This is not actually feasible yet but it would be nice to prepare so that when they're stable-ish in Next, we can use them.
I started a branch in https://github.com/reactjs/reactjs.org/tree/sc which only has http://localhost:3000/apis/usestate and http://localhost:3000/learn/props stubs which I use for testing.
I've ran into a few things already:
- Basic stub
- Need a layout system (I hacked one in)
- Need to have a way to pass components to MDX
- Minor bug I worked around https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/34595
- Shared components can't import client components (https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/34594), seems like a big problem for any serious code conversion
- Actually renaming the files (it would be nice to have a script to do that)
- We can actually do this before adopting SC so that by the time they're out, it's easy to switch. I.e. let's try to convert the site to use
.clientfor things that need to be client components, and to follow SC rules. And then see how far we can keep things on the server, i.e. how many files don't really need.clientif we do a bit of refactoring.

- There's no support for SSG, it seems, yet. Next generates something with server runtime. Not sure when SSG is on the roadmap (if at all?)

Research direction
Start by reviewing the sc branch and its /apis/usestate and /learn/props stubs, then check the linked Next.js limitations around shared components and SSG. The issue does not name files or tests; completion would need an agreed scope for .client renaming, server-component adoption, and SSG support.
