What would you build a Web app with today?

Publish Date: Mar 12 '24
0 2

So, if you were to start a new Web app today that needed the following

  • Frontend
  • Backend with DB
  • User registration
  • Secure to take payments for the service

What would you use? Yes, I know this is some what open ended and maybe a loaded question. I've only used React in the past few years.

But I want to try and recreate one of my mobile native apps on the Web and I'm a little out of date as I have not built one in a couple of years at least.

I am also considering trying a no-code solution since this feels like a good opportunity to explore them further.

Thanks for advice, suggestions.

    I’m diving deeper into RedwoodJS these days. I’m not a big fan of opinionated tools actually, but the guys behind this fullstack framework created really robust ecosystem and terrific CLI. And the community is super awesome and warm, that alone attracted me very much.

    It would be a perfect match for your goal btw, at least if you’re OK with the prerequisites — React (I guess this one is OK), Prisma, GraphQL, dev tools like Jest and StoryBook. There’s a bunch of auxiliary integrations like auth and payments (Stripe) that may be useful as well.

      Dang, I totally forgot about RedwoodJS, I looked at it way back when it first appeared and liked what I found.

      Thanks for reminding me, I will go back and look at it again. I did like the 'here it all is' approach to the stack.
