Most people in this thread are not suggesting a stack for an mvp. They’re just listing their favorite stacks, that’s it.
There’s a comment of somebody saying that just Postgres and Go. How on earth is that a good stack for building an mvp?? You’ll have to write a shit ton of code or glue together 10 thousand libraries.

it's also not a ton more work to pivot and turn the rails app with hotwire into an ios/android app with a minimal amount of work. and yeah you can also sprinkle react in if you need some component or two or even do the api that way and drop into a full SPA if you really need that. but at that point you are doubling the amount of work on the frontend for little gain in my view.
I liked the idea of react and have used it but i don't feel like it improves the situation enough for 95% of the sites out there to justify it and the enormous extra work there is in getting state/routing/etc to jive with the backend. I'm hoping strada, if it ever comes out, will be a large improvement to turbo native and at least provide a very compelling alternative react native.
If you're already doing the backend in rails, it's hardly any more work to just do hotwire with server side rendering at the same time, and you can switch to a SPA later (if you really do need to).
