astrojs (with some React) for presentation website, nextjs for anything else. For backend, I use Django if the project is complex or Go frameworks for micros.

#22None. I write my own frontend, backend, db engine, libraries. Not completely of course, like I would still rely on Express and other heavy lifting when doing a node backend. If I need some special feature in the frontend I hunt for a library I can easily copy to my libs/ directory, but half the libraries that are used I wrote myself.

#23Gatsby built and served Netlify. I love how its trivial to make hundreds to thousands of static pages with various react components and templates (mind you static doesn't necessarily mean you can't load outside data with an API)
With just a few Gatsby plugins & some tinkering, you can get a workflow that produces sites where each page has a 100 across the board on lighthouse

#25Django, Next.js
I want to use Django+Next.js for a project, any tips on how to get started?
Re: Ask HN: What web frameworks do you use?
#26Django, it does so much out of the box.

#27React (Next) for work and Solid (SolidStart) for personal projects, Astro for blog and static sites.

#28Are you building a highly interaction frontend application? I mean an actual application? Or is it static with some interactive components? CSS can go far these days. And you can always add little interactivity with a script tag on the page.

#29> I was planning on learning React, but the fact that it's owned by Meta really holds me back. May I ask why? React starts there, but it will probably survive Meta. Its a great framework, IMO.
Being owned by Meta (or Facebook at the time) was a selling feature for me when settling on it. The main reason being that they use it heavily internally, and have a vested interest in its success as a result. They've built it to meet their needs, dogfood features internally, and feel the same pain as everyone else when it comes to breaking changes and backwards compatibility.
This gave me a lot of confidence in React compared to other frameworks at the time I was evaluating it. It turned out to be a great choice now 8+ years later, and I feel the same way today.

#30React using Remix (https://remix.run/)
I’ve used it for nearly 2 years in production
Highly recommend this video if want a good primer on the problem it solves: https://youtu.be/95B8mnhzoCM?si=EzKwMLbJW2602PJI
It’s built by the team that created the popular react router library, which has over a billion downloads since it was published;
It brought the joy of programming back for me, but more importantly it solves lots of typical headaches in react and helps me ship faster and with right amount of abstraction and levers to pull
If you’ve used react router, all that knowledge transfers over, if you have a react SPA with react router, very little to learn
Great for Frontend UI teams, but, it’s simple enough in my observation that several SRE & traditionally pure backend teams who’ve never built UIs at my company have adopted it for building their own internal tools & UIs
Deployable on all major platforms that I know, whether it’s serverless or not
I use the remix with expressjs template at work and for personal projects
