I'd need the opinion of someone who's worked with other acclaimed technologies (his was PHP) to tell me that Rails is indeed that much better
(coming from close to a decade of Rails experience on my end)

I found the lack of 1st party auth system annoying. Phoenix, for example gives me a nice starting point (even magic links soon). Adonis for all its features, turns me to what I hate. The JS auth implementations.
Yeah, dealing with auth can be painful. The adonis provided auth and bouncer do a decent job of abstracting some of that away, but like most js implementations, it's got rough edges (the docs and vids really help). I'm not familiar with Elixir/Phoenix, but from reading other recommendations in this thread and after having a quick look, I need to take a closer look :-)

I've always seen it spelled stymie, was pretty surprised that stymy is legit and apparently is the American English way of spelling it.
As an American, I've never seen that spelling, and I can't find much evidence that it's an accepted spelling. I'm curious how you came to that conclusion. "Stymy" doesn't appear in Merriam-Webster [0] nor the OED [1]. Wiktionary [2] and Dictionary.com [3] do list it as "variant" or "alternative" spellings, but with no indication that it's an American spelling.

Elixir Phoenix https://x.com/whizzaf/status/1916541502408323313
I've been slowly / occasionally dipping my feet into Elixir / Phoenix dev over the past year or two, building an app idea that's been floating around in my head for a while. It's a bit of a steep learning curve for me, coming mainly from Python land (Django / Flask / FastAPI); I understand that it's designed to be a gentler learning curve for those coming from Ruby / Rails land. Phoenix is also a lot less mature / le…
Was it the LiveView stuff that felt foreign? I'd agree there's a learning curve there as someone coming from Django.
I don't know if the framework really matters that much? Just choose anything popular and there should be plenty of help available. I've been using Laravel for about 11 years now. I hate it, but it keeps on trucking along so I've resisted the urge to do a complete rewrite. I don't think anything is particularly slow to develop. It's the business side of things that's the hard part.

Django is more or less Python's equivalent of Rails. Its admin panel is nice, especially for a solo developer trying to manage something they built in a weekend.
Is there an equivalent of the Django admin panel in the PHP (Laravel/Symfony) world?
In large regards, this is basically my dream life. I just do not know where to start/what to write honestly.

Mind to share why? As someone who likes Rust, has one project (web based) in production in Rust, and considering starting another one, I'd be glad to learn from the experience of other people.
I have several apps in production. I employ sqlx, axum, async_graphql, React frontend. So far I don't know any better way of doing it and I have tried all the classic ways like PHP, Django etc. This is way superior. The only downside is that I am the only one who can touch the backend, but I guess if some of the projects grows enough, there will be enough incentives to find another Rust programmer besides me.
I don't have any experience in Rails, but similar experience with Django. I am running several apps on my own, while still working elsewhere full-time. The largest one has around 250 views, of maybe 80 are just basic admin views. It is basically comparable to an ERP of a medium-side company with various levels of permissions etc. I was able to get most of the functionality into production in just one month -- I was n…
I'm not a huge fan of Ruby, but even if you admit that Rails is superior to Django, it would be a hard sell to invest in Ruby ecosystem instead of Python I'm doing something similar to OP with Django right now
Why? The Ruby ecosystem is great, as good as ever. What do you think it's missing?
