Using Vue or React only on the frontend, via an api is a pretty good time, imo.

The interactivity is pretty hard to beat. If you were looking for this experience to also further your career, I'd say using React would be pretty hard to beat. React is still eating the JS world.

But if I were off on my own, building my own site to live off, I'd definitely see if Vue did the job. Having built complex projects with both, Vue is definitely simpler. I haven't written with Vue in a few years now, but still find React to just be much more complex.

Curious how Heroku compares to the new JS environments — like Netlify and Vercel. The experience and price there seems extremely nice. Wonder how Heroku has kept up in that regard.

Redux has developed a bad name for being complex and verbose. Hence why it scared me off when I needed to choose something for JumpShip.

The current recommendation (I think) is to use Redux Toolkit, not plain ol' Redux. I've found it pretty great.

Easy to set up, fairly straightforward to use. Wouldn't hesitate to use it in my next project. In fact, I'd be inclined to jump to it much sooner.

Doesn't seem likely with BEM, but Tailwind could likely make this possible.
