Nuxt made the frontend super simple and fast to build, it takes care of a lot of things for you! Deta is also awesome for devs

All running on 3 VPS's. Everything I want to do can still be done with this stack.
For my side company I design and build audio electronics for DJs. https://cardinia.net/ Here is my tools & workflow: https://nudge.id.au/v5/img/Cardinia-Electronics-Workflow-202... Professional CAD tools are not cheap, so I'm basically breaking even. I'm mainly doing it for the love it -- I love to create things to inspire others to also create. Luckily I have a full time job to keep me going :)
I hate to say it, but maybe no one would really care if you would pirate it? It just doesn't seem right to spend so much money on such expensive software that is probably that expensive due to big business using it and no competition.
I have always used Rails for my projects. In the most recent I took a detour to Django, which was successful, but never felt quite as productive. If I start something new this year I think I would opt for Rails again. Even though it’s long in the tooth nowadays, I would choose it for productivity, time to market and availability of people if the project scales.
Postgres -> Django w/Graphene -> Vue.js w/ Apollo Breakfast of champions right there.
I went with Flask (python) + Bootstrap for my website.
The apps are created in Flutter, which was a great choice looking back on it. This allows me to have 1 codebase for both Android & iOS apps (most customers want both). If developing an app for just Android would be 100% effort, developing an app for Android and iOS with Flutter is around 130% effort I'd say. Those additional 30% mostly come from inconsistencies in Flutter between Android & iOS and from desired differences between the platforms, e.g. Material vs Cupertino design.
I developed native Android apps before and now I'd even use Flutter if I wanted to just create an ordinary Android app. It's just so much nicer to use in my opinion.
Summary: Flutter was a great choice, Flask is fine too, nothing to complain about there.
Great thread! I have a question for everybody who uses Laravel or Symfony: Did you compare it to the other one before you made a decision? What made you decide on the one you are using now? I also would be interested in the same question regarding Django and Flask!
Does it even make sense to "compare frameworks"? I've got an impression they all do more or less the same and it's a matter of preference really.

Running costs are USD 7/month for Linode + USD 15/year for the domain. SendGrid is currently free through the Twilio Startup Program.
Why did I choose it?
I am a lawyer and startet to learn how to code from scratch.
Python was being recommended because it is easy to learn. So I chose that.
Further, there are many Python/Django tutorials available online and I was always able to find my answers online. That definitely helped me to keep going and not give up.
I'm a fullstack JavaScript dev. I used to write everything in pure React and serve it with Express on Node but two years ago I started experimenting with all the fancy new frameworks and now my every project is: - Gatsby or Next depending on how dynamic the content is - Firebase for db, auth, and bucket storage, and sometimes hosting - Vercel for NextJS hosting - Recoil for state management; after years of using Redu…
Have you tried sanity.io (a headless CMS)? I used it in conjunction with Gatsby and have had a great experience overall.
I think what the market is missing is a sort of locally run CMS that is file based with Sqlite and managed completely with Git. Something that can can be moved around with project easily and have great version control.
Let's say you have a /content folder in your project that is it's own separate git repo, and there you have .md or .txt or sqlite files, and your assets, and there's a browser based client to manage it that runs locally.
