If your other option is "raw" React, Next.js: You'll do less yak-shaving and have to manage less engineering complexity versus using Next.js and rolling your own db/auth/testing/access control.
If your other option is Blitz: you get a larger core team, GraphQL if you like that, and fancier generators.
If your other option is Django/Rails/etc: it is like Rails, but integrates better with the frontend.
- leodriesch 5y agoDjango/Rails comparison is a bit short I would argue, Redwood lacks a lot of their backend capabilities (Active Storage, mailing solution, jobs, Action Cable).
- adfm 5y agoAdd simplicity to your list. Tools like htmx and hotwire appeal to me because they cut down on the towering stack of fast-moving parts.
- midrus 5y agoHave you tried Unpoly? It's like htmx but more "high level". I've used it for several projects and it is one of the more underrated tools out there. On my latest project.im using it in combination with Alpine.js on a Laravel application and I'm loving it.
- flybayer 5y agoBlitz doesn’t use GraphQL, one of the unique things about it.
