I’m mainly a mobile developer building Android & iOS apps.
But now I’m realizing everything cannot be inside a mobile app. Some things are just better on web or desktop because of:
>larger screen
>keyboard support
>easier workflows
>better admin/dashboard experience
So I want to ask web developers something.
For building things like:
>product websites
>landing pages
>authentication
>subscriptions/payments
>dashboards/admin panels
>blogs/docs
>SaaS products
what stack do you actually prefer for production?
I know the basics:
HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Node.js
At first every framework looks good 😄
But later I keep hearing things like:
>SEO/indexing issues
>website ranking problems
>hydration issues
>security concerns
>performance problems
>scaling complexity
>dependency chaos
So I want to know what developers are genuinely using long term and why.
What do you currently use for:
>Framework → React / Next.js?
>Styling → Tailwind / Material UI / ShadCN / custom CSS?
>Design tool → Figma?
>Database → PostgreSQL / MongoDB / Firebase / Supabase?
>Auth → Clerk / Auth.js / Firebase Auth / custom?
>Subscription & payments → Stripe / RevenueCat / Paddle / Razorpay?
>Backend → Node.js / Supabase / Firebase?
>Hosting → Vercel / Cloudflare / AWS / DigitalOcean?
Also curious:
>Which AI tools do you use daily for vibe coding?
>Do you fully trust AI-generated code or always review/debug it yourself?
>For AI integration in websites/apps, which provider do you recommend for:
good performance
lower cost for starters
easy integration
production scalability
If you started again today from scratch, what stack would you choose for a modern production-ready website/app?
