Ask HN: Solo-devs what is your tech stack?

Express.js + React + Postgres
For hosting recently started using Render which is even faster to setup than Heroku, 5 minutes from signup and I had everything setup with ssl and custom domains.

Boring, but functional:
Flask, MySQL, Bootstrap, jQuery

Haskell (Warp HTTP server w/ WAI middleware, Selda with SQLite or Postgresql, blaze-html for templating).
I try and avoid JavaScript but if I use it I usually write vanilla JS and avoid package managers and build pipelines.

I've worked on several solo projects in the past. I've personally found the below stack to be quite productive:
Frontend: NextJS + Tailwind Backend: Flask Ops: Heroku + addons
Frontend: NextJS + Tailwind Backend: Flask Ops: Heroku + addons
For backend:
Golang + SQLite + Nginx
For frontend:
Nuxt.js / Vue.js using the SSG option
I meld the two using the JAMstack design in Nginx where the backend is exposed on /api path and the static site is hosted from the dist directory on the root path of the site. And while I use Go in production, I typically use Python for making proof of concepts or writing any quick glue scripts.

Node.js/AWS lambda/DynamoDB/Kinesis for backend
Pytorch/k8s/AWS fargate for Deep learning api
Clingo/Prolog for symbolic AI
React.js/flexbox/sass for frontend
SwiftUI for iOS

Question, why don’t you just use React Native for your frontend? Just curious.
uWeebSockets.js: better performance and api than expressjs, hapi, koa, fastify
React: stable, doesn't break, probably lindy.
Tailwind css: it just works.
Postgresql, elasticsearch, clickhouse, redis.
Namecheap, digitalocean.
