Any specific models you’ve used and can recommend?

Having never touched rust before, this seems like a good launching point. Curious though - why did Microsoft create this? Presumably they would be more interested in a C#/.NET guide for Rust developers.

I've been going thru Astro tutorials and playing around with it. Haven't done anything with Drizzle yet, but I like it a lot, thanks again for the suggestion.

Great thoughts. Actually I could host this on an RPi as I’m close in proximity to the user base. Lightsail is very interesting, I’ll take a look.

Is MERN stack still in demand?

from the ask-hn dept.

Ask: Looking for thoughts and opinions on good tech stack options for side projects. Looking to build a web app for a small niche - very small user base (<100 initially), no expectation that it would ever scale into something big. Data-driven app with User authentication. The app would have a few pages of different data views, but nothing too fancy. This is more or less a hobby project to...
