Starting to build something for myself on the side with my regular job and while we have some great stacks out there, is there a fast way to get started on a webapp framework?<p>Ask: Help me find the easiest to get started, lean and interesting web app framework to use for my side project.<p>Background:
- I am well versed at HTML, CSS, JS. Have used Backbone.js extensively earlier.
- Have read all the usual blog posts on X vs Y and I really want something where I can develop fast without worrying too much about scale or maintainability as this is really just for myself.
For React, the two fastest ways to get started are:<p>- Use the official Create-React-App tool to set up a project that has good defaults, with no config needed on your part: <a href="https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app</a><p>- CodeSandbox.io is a full online IDE that lets you build real apps in your browser, including use of NPM packages and syncing projects to Github: <a href="https://codesandbox.io" rel="nofollow">https://codesandbox.io</a><p>You might also be interested in my list of suggested resources for getting started with React: <a href="http://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2017/12/blogged-answers-learn-react/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2017/12/blogged-answers-lea...</a>
