hey all, anyone else feel the paradox of choice with tech stacks for side projects? sometimes simpler is better. what’s your go-to stack when you just want to get an idea out fast? would love to swap notes and learn from each other’s shortcuts.

    I created zippynotes.co using React, Bootstrap, Firebase, and really decided that this was the best way until I started exploring No-Code.

    I’m planning to use Bubble for my next project, have heard really good things about it.

      Pretty much this or the Django equivalent, because I’ve used both for a while and know enough to be able to make stuff without thinking too hard about the stack. The answer should really just be “whatever stack you’re most comfortable with” - you should be focusing on getting the product done rather than trying to figure out how to use the shiny tech

    CSS: Twildwind(shadcn/UI)

    Fullstack-JavaScript: Next.js + Node.js

    ​

    Cloudflare = DNS, Security, Hosting, Cache, Storage, SSL

    Vercel (frontend) =Deployment, Hosting, Scalability

    Supabase(backend) = Database, Real-time, APIs, Authentication

    recently I’ve really enjoyed using cloudflare workers. really fast to start, compatible with a bunch of node.js libraries and usually free to host. before that I really liked using django on a digital ocean droplet

    Used to use Flask + Sqlite/Postgres. Now I’m leaning towards Nextjs, but also looking into sveltekit.

    Nextjs - Supabase - Tailwind + Shadcn

    Nextjs because you can start with any rendering style, and there are a ton of useful templates at https://vercel.com/templates.

    I use Supabase for my backend and database. If things get complex later on, I can still tap into the same Supabase DB with a custom backend.

    And Shadcn gives me a bunch of pre-built components that look good without having to spend hours on design.
