Thinking of starting a personal project to keep busy. I’m very good with databases and SQL but interested in branching out to more full-stack

I’m thinking Supabase, Sveltekit and Svelte

What would you all use?

    Sounds like fun. Which tech stack? Depends.

    • Wanna build a proof of concept quickly? Pick a stack you’re familiar with.

    • Wanna make a hobby project for fun? Pick whichever stack you want to learn better.

    • Speaking of learning, want to improve your programming experience with the aspiration to be hired as a software engineer? Pick a popular tech stack.

    • Want to build something that you hope will grow and will eventually look for contributors (whether that be hiring people or open sourcing)? Pick a popular tech stack.

    There are other less important factors like technical pros/cons of the tech stack depending on what your application is doing and how you expect it to grow technically and as a product, but I would start with the above.
    A lot of tech stacks out there can build a relatively successful Reddit-like app, and with enough experience, scale it when needed.
    If you are less experienced and want to try avoiding some pitfalls and antipatterns that could make maintaining or scaling your app difficult, I would recommend picking a stack that contains a more full fledged framework that provides a lot of the code structure and tools for you.
