#32I find Laravel (with something like livewire or Unpoly) quite easy, well documented and battle tested. Of everything I've tried in my life this is the best "one man army" stack I've seen.

#34Depending on what you're trying to do, Retool ( https://retool.com/ ) can get you up and running very quickly. It's great for quick and dirty internal tools, but maybe not that suitable if you are going to build something large and complex that you need a lot of custom functionality for.

Just this week-end, a friend had an idea that he wanted to make a list of healthy products. I suggested Google Sheets as a starting 'database' and see where we move from there.

#37NestJS + Prisma is pretty neat. NestJS can generate you CRUD apps using the built in CLI and Prisma defines models/scheme in one file. I like this for smaller projects as it is quick and easy to manage.
