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.<p>Grew up in the LAMP world and wrote HTML&#x2F;CSS&#x2F;JS by hand. Not going back to that.<p>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&#x27;m just using gcc, make, and a text editor. I&#x27;ll use Eclipse as an IDE for particularly complex projects.

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

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