Ask HN: What is a good web stack for solo founder?

1 points by e3bc54b2 ↗ HN
My project is in infancy, I'm mostly done with PoC, and have a potential stack in mind, but would like to take a look at what more experienced folks are doing anyway. I have dabbled in most established languages at some point and have a general preference to statically typed languages, but I've enjoyed Elixir and Clojure for small stuff, even used Janet for a tiny thing(local network only). But please feel free to add anything.

Ruby on Rails, Postgres.

No JavaScript, you case use Hotwire.

Might as well just use Elixir with LiveView - easier and more scalable platform (no redis dependency). Especially since op knows Elixir.

Honestly first pick the programming language you are most comfortable writing the project in and then pick the most popular web framework in that language. If this is your first non-trivial web project you're doing on your own, you have enough things to worry about getting right that you don't need the added overhead of learning a new language or dealing with an obscure or badly documented framework.
