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

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.

  Question, why don’t you just use React Native for your frontend? Just curious.

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.

Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit/AppKit for iOS, iPad and mac FastAPI + Postgres backend React + TS for web Edit: some pretty exotic stacks in here! Cool to see.

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.

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.
