Ask HN: Most productive rapid web app dev stack in JavaScript/Python

Hello,

I'm looking for a good dev stack to write web based apps with decent looking UI rapidly - sort of the promise of what bootstrap was. I'd like to limit the languages to JS/Python (let's pretend backend is API, so nevermind [No]SQL).

Currently overwhelmed by choices.

There are way maaany other low-code / no-code builders with sooner-or-later-hit-by-wall limitations.

It really dependend on what you want to build.

Best luck with your project and curios what you went with.

I don't know how sophisticated the UI has to do, but maybe consider https://htmx.org/ over a SPA.

The one you’re already most familiar with.

React and Django are good default options.

I've used Django with Django Rest Framework plus Vue with Vuetify in dayjob and it's a pretty productive framework, I did not know any javascript frontend previously so I got quickly to speed with it.
