My issues are kind of specific to the idiosyncrasies of my app. Its multi-tenant and two-sided (admins and applicants), so I had to kind of roll my own auth system on top of the existing one. The fact that I could do that really means that

i spent a very happy month last year making a game with tic80. Honestly its better than pico8 for me: better aspect ratio, standard lua lib instead of a knock-off, and very stable etc

I chose React in 2022 for a new app. I looked at the alternatives, and the only ones that seem mature enough are Vue and Svelte. Vue honestly doesn't really seem that different to me. Svelte is great, but the ecosystem is a fraction of
