Ask HN: What tech stack do you use for quick web side projects?

This is as "quick" as side projects go: https://crushentropy.com/ (Markdown for hi-res planning). I made it one weekend a couple years ago and I've used it myself ever since.

App served by Flask running on App Engine. Data persisted to Firebase. Costs me approximately $0 per month. 100% uptime afaik.

This is cool! Did you document the format or is it really limited to what we see on the front page?

Thanks. I'll expand on it. In the meantime perhaps try out the demo. That'll give you step by step examples.

I like it! Any code one might look at? Do you use it alongside a normal calendar?

Thanks. Most of the work is done here: https://crushentropy.com/static/plan.js

Yes I use CrushEntropy for planning my day and tracking how I spend time through the day (a column of plans next to a column of actual gives you a good sense of how things are going), and Google Calendar for all meetings.

I plan to add some selective syncing with Google Calendar. I haven't had a pressing need for it though. Do you need that?
