Re:Ask HN: What stack should I use to build my basic web app... by julvo on Thursday March 29, 2018 @03:18AM (#16705166)
Do I sense a bit of sarcasm regarding longevity of JS frameworks here?

As other commenters say, if you want results, choose whatever stack you are most productive with.

As you say 'basic' web app: I'd recommend using Firebase, if you are comfortable with the vendor lock-in. For auth, database and deployment it doesn't get much simpler than this.

Strapi is something I've been looking at as a self-hosted firebase competitor for just an api for mobile apps, etc.. It's pretty cool, when I don't want to build out a full-fledge laravel app.

I use Firebase too along with a simple Vue.js setup. So easy and quick to get up and running.
