Usually going as light as possible with lit-html (starting using the open-wc starter). Most likely in Javascript, not typescript.

99% of the time I don't need a backend, and just directly use firebase / supabase or an equivalent.

Can't beat 2 dependencies :).

Deployment gets either done on firebase or Netlify

"firebase"

I've seen that mentioned a few times and never looked into it but you inspired to do that and I was pretty surprised to see it's a Google thing. Shoot, it's pretty much Google "Everything".

I get the reasoning behind using it, I really do, but for those same reasons I just can't.

"supabase" I've not heard of, but that's a lot more interesting to me and I might spend some time learning more about that. Thank you for sharing that!

No worries! I try to avoid google myself as well but Firebase is the simplest I know for auth/nosqlAAS.

Supabase is the new kid on the block, it's great but still a little rough on the edges. If you're more of an Amazon fan, the closest equivalent to Firebase will be AWS Amplify.

Enjoy!
