Ask HN: What's your preferred stack for personal projects?
I.e. stuff you build in your spare time for fun. Next.js + MUI + Vercel, with Jetbrains and Github behind the scenes. Super easy and fast DX. Maybe Astro for simpler projects. Grew up in the LAMP world and wrote HTML/CSS/JS by hand. Not going back to that. I keep wanting to learn Swift (I miss nice, fast desktop apps) but never seem to have time... It varies a lot depending on the project, but generally I'm just using gcc, make, and a text editor. I'll use Eclipse as an IDE for particularly complex projects. A Linux web server where I write HTML and Javascript and then I check if it works in a web browser. Flask (Python), FastAPI and htmx. A very capable stack while still be manageable by a solo-developer. Linux, Python and/or C++, sometimes ncurses. Django + Unpoly + Bootstrap + Postgres LAMP. No frameworks, no JavaScript. Rails + SQLite
