We're both devs, and we were arguing about the best, fastest way to build a good web app.
There are clear best choices for no-code tools (e.g. shopify for e-commerce).
But are there equally obvious choices for web apps that still require devs?
If helpful, my personal goals when building a web app are speed, quality, and flexibility.
Speed: how quickly can I go from design to shipped app.
Quality: can a new developer quickly onboard and understand the code and how to contribute.
Flexibility: I don't want to be limited in what we can do. This should be a solution that can work for (most) any kind of web app.
I think my default would be Frontend: React; Backend: Google cloud functions; Data: Firestore; Infra: Firebase
But tbh it still takes much longer / more effort to spin up a web app with moderate functionality than it does to create a shopify store.
Maybe these aren't the best / most up to date tools. I'd love to hear what other people think is best.
