As an indie developer what has been your preferred tech stack when building side projects or SaaS products

    • serverless projects: HTML/CSS/JS on Cloudflare (e.g. https://potato.cheap)

    • simple DB-backed web projects: HTML/CSS/JS with Deno (hono+postgres.js) on fly.io (e.g. https://flashcasts.com)

    • very interactive web frontends: Elm (i.e. https://taylor.town/elm-2023)

    Most of my upcoming projects are not web-based, so I’ll be looking into Lua/Love and SwiftUI.

    Astro - you can build pretty complex sites with their SSR mode these days.
