Ask HN: What's your preferred stack for personal projects?

[mrtz]

I.e. stuff you build in your spare time for fun.

Next.js + MUI + Vercel, with Jetbrains and Github behind the scenes. Super easy and fast DX. Maybe Astro for simpler projects.

Grew up in the LAMP world and wrote HTML/CSS/JS by hand. Not going back to that.

I keep wanting to learn Swift (I miss nice, fast desktop apps) but never seem to have time...

It varies a lot depending on the project, but generally I'm just using gcc, make, and a text editor. I'll use Eclipse as an IDE for particularly complex projects.

[kbrecordzz]

A Linux web server where I write HTML and Javascript and then I check if it works in a web browser.

[brettkromkamp]

Flask (Python), FastAPI and htmx. A very capable stack while still be manageable by a solo-developer.

[marssaxman]

Linux, Python and/or C++, sometimes ncurses.

[ale_jacques]

Django + Unpoly + Bootstrap + Postgres

[beretguy]

LAMP. No frameworks, no JavaScript.

[steve_gh]

Rails + SQLite
