Ask HN: Most productive rapid web app dev stack in JavaScript/Python

4 pointsby truekonradsalmost 2 years ago
Hello,<p>I&#x27;m looking for a good dev stack to write web based apps with decent looking UI rapidly - sort of the promise of what bootstrap was. I&#x27;d like to limit the languages to JS&#x2F;Python (let&#x27;s pretend backend is API, so nevermind [No]SQL).<p>Currently overwhelmed by choices.

I don&#x27;t know how sophisticated the UI has to do, but maybe consider <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;htmx.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;htmx.org&#x2F;</a> over a SPA.

I&#x27;ve used Django with Django Rest Framework plus Vue with Vuetify in dayjob and it&#x27;s a pretty productive framework, I did not know any javascript frontend previously so I got quickly to speed with it.

The one you’re already most familiar with.

React and Django are good default options.
