Ask HN: Hobby project, what frameworks to use?
3 points by kpr21 1643 days ago
I want to get started with some hobby project. Confused because, there are way too many frameworks. After a lot of research, I have zeroed in on Vercel+ Supabase. Any feedback or alternatives?

Note: I am hands on with tech stacks. So, I am not keen on frameworks which completely abstract the underlying tech. But, ease of use and quick development also is a criteria.

Technology choices (language, framework, etc.) follow from requirements. Since you didn't give any requirements no one can give a meaningful answer. Your question is like asking "Hungry, what should I eat?" The stack you might use for a web site is very different from an Arduino project, and the stack for a to-do list app is different from that for a fitness tracker.

If part of the hobby project is to learn something new, then take your pick of things you're interested in. If your main goal is to get something working you should choose tools you already know.

Requirements: Nice UI, CRUD, REST API to begin with.
