I build all my side projects with the following stack:

- ASP.NET Core with Razor Pages for templeting (substitute this for Django/Laravel/RoR to match your preference) - SQLite for DB - TailwindCSS standalone + a UI builder like https://shuffle.dev for the UI (huge bonus if your templating engine supports components) - HTMX to sprinkle AJAX where appropriate - AlpineJS for small DOM manipulation (open/close menus)
