Ask HN: Simplest stack to build web apps in 2021?
12 by yblu | 8 comments on Hacker News.
I'm looking to build a new app with a frontend, rest API, and server-side rendering. I'd prefer a single batteried framework supporting all of these out of the box. It's been a while since I can develop from a clean slate and I was hoping web dev in 2021 would be much simpler than what I am used to. However, I spent this entire morning looking at modern frameworks (not going to name them to avoid turning this into a different kind of discussion) and I'm kinda disappointed. They all look complicated and require lots of configs and plumbing to get started. Any stack/framework that you find simple and joyful to develop with?
