Ask HN: What is the “modern approach” to web/app development?

2 points by 4k 8 years ago · 2 comments · 1 min read


I am a backend dev and know little of web dev.

Assuming you are designing a web app, and corresponding mobile apps in 2018 from scratch, how would you go about structuring it? What would be the best practices? What tools you'd choose?

Since it's hard to discuss it without a concrete example, let's say you're designing a Quora or a microblogging site.

P.S. I am personally fond of golang.

I recommend using Elm-lang elm-lang.org. It's functional, which is a very helpful alternative to JavaScript. It also has a mildly opinionated architecture builtin. Check it out!

It may not be best practice, but I recommend newbies to use Bootstrap. Setup is a breeze, and the way layout works is intuitive for me
