> as a solo developer MVC all the way, because otherwise you're never going to finish it. Doing a separate backend + SPA is an insane amount of work compared to a traditional full stack framework. Just thinking about validations (both server and client) make my brain hurt. Also you'll have to rewrite the frontend before even finishing it given how fast the landscape changes. And even being a small team and not just yourself, I'd only think of an SPA if 1) You need an offline first experience, or 2) You don't have full stack engineers at hand and you only have backend people which don't want to touch JavaScript and frontend people which only want to work with JavaScript..... but this is more of a people problem than technical one. I've done a lot of Django in the past, then a lot of SPAs for the last 6 ~ 8 years, and now I'm back to Laravel + Livewire and I'm living in a dream right now. Everything is so easy that I feel I've been cheated the last few years.... so much time and money (from my employers) wasted...
