Ruby on Rails, Hotwire, StimulusJS, SCSS, slim, Postgres, Redis, on Heroku or Render.

Solid, mature, innovative, productive and pleasant to work with. 80% of SPA speed and reactivity with 5% of the effort.

If I need complicated interactivity in a specific area, I use vuejs.

i thought Hotwire was supposed to give us js without the js, but it seems like it needs stimulusjs and/or a mix of at least three other libraries and html-polluting attributes and code snippets.

i def don't understand that world yet, but i'm thinking...is there even enough of a payoff to step down from Vue?

slim looks cool. guess i have to check out laravel lumen, too. i thought lumen was just api support, so maybe slim is the same? i have to watch a youtube.

I meant http://slim-lang.com/

Never close another HTML tag again, never type or read a single character while writing clean compliant solid html.

so, slim is, in this case, a templating language/tech similar to blade, jinja, etc.
