This was my first project using Elixir/Phoenix and it’s been really fantastic, I couldn’t recommend it enough for being very productive and it’s fairly performant to boot.
The mobile app was built using Flutter (again my first project with Flutter), and it has honestly been great. I come from a Java background and Dart is extremely similar so it took no time at all to get acclimated.

Mobile: Xamarin
CI/CD: Azure Devops, AKS
Reason for choosing it: 15+ years of experience with C#, Vue is easy to learn, Xamarin is also C# for both Android and iOS
So i guess sticking with what you already know is the best when starting out.
Finding product/market fit is waaaay more difficult than learning new tech.
You will have time to optimize it later when you get traction and the product kept together by duct tape starts to fall apart under pressure.
It's likely been helpful because it's a stack I'm good with, and it has very mature tooling and libraries (via JVM). The alternative was basically C, which has higher quality mailserver libraries but seemed a lot harder to work with from my point of view.
I’m not a solo business owner, but if I had to guess, I’d say that the ones who are successful turn their weakness into a strength by using some obscure tech stack that they’re a wizard with but that no one else uses. It’s a trite thought here on HN, but if I were a one-man shop I really would try to use a Lisp dialect.
I hope you see the irony in your comment
