I guess I’m old school, but I built SimplifyRecipe.com in a few hours using Laravel. That’s not to say that Laravel is better than anything else, but I’m extremely fluent with that ecosystem.
I will say, I believe that Laravel or Ruby on Rails would be my favorite starting point for a solo development effort. I spent 1000+ hours working on JavaScript framework development and found it to be really cumbersome.
I’m very fluent in JavaScript (I’ve been a js dev for 10 years) and don’t have that much experience with Laravel yet. I totally agree with what you say.
Even. It being fluent with pho and the ecosystem I find it incredibly more easy to learn and more productive. A lot less foot guns.
