I’m a PM. Most of my day is spent writing prose and meeting with customers.<p>However, I miss writing code and I have a few ideas for web apps that I want to try building this winter break.<p>Most of my time as a developer was spent writing backend C#, but I have enough familiarity with Python and JS to be dangerous.<p>What kind of tools should I try out to make these web apps? My goals are: pickup marketable skills, scratch an itch, have as much fun as possible in the limited time I have to code.
Highly recommend <a href="https://htmx.org/" rel="nofollow">https://htmx.org/</a>. Makes it easy to create "good enough" UIs with minimal effort, and while spending most of your time writing backend code. Pair it with whatever the recommended C# web framework is. I'm using it for my own solo dev projects/startup and enjoying it a lot.
