  • fastify

    Fast and low overhead web framework, for Node.js

    Fastify https://www.fastify.io simple, and modular NodeJS framework. I don't consider a framework simple once they use a bundler like Webpack, Babel, Rollup, etc.

  • drogon

    Drogon: A C++14/17/20 based HTTP web application framework running on Linux/macOS/Unix/Windows

    talking about C++, there are drogon framework: https://github.com/drogonframework/drogon

    not bells and whistles like on Wt as there are no integrated widgets. But have c++ based template (for HTML) engine and other integrated parts what you expect from framework (routing, controllers, db, authentication handling and so on).

    and boasts high performance design

  • create-jd-app

    The quickest and most efficient way to start new full stack, type safed Solid web app

    https://github.com/OrJDev/create-jd-app

    This is like t3 but uses Solid.js, which is magnitude simpler and faster than React.

  • sdoc

    Standalone sdoc generator

    Rails still holds the top spot in getting things out the door in the shortest amount of time. So many example projects and tons of amazing libraries that are available. They absolutely have the best developer docs in the industry as far as I'm concerned.

    https://guides.rubyonrails.org/

    https://api.rubyonrails.org/

    Phoenix/Liveview is a close second. I would personally use Phoenix/Liveview at this point because since I know that stack pretty well, but it is definitely not as easy as Rails to learn. However, once past the learning phase I think there's distinct advantages especially with Liveview.

    Fly.io has a free hosting tier currently. You can also get some free servers through Oracle Cloud.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Deployer

    The PHP deployment tool with support for popular frameworks out of the box

    Is there an equivalent for deployer in .NET world?

    https://deployer.org/

  • meteor-template

    I do this with Meteor for many years.

    This is the template I use to start https://github.com/quavedev/meteor-template

    For example, I built https://codeftw.dev (https://en.codefte.dev in English) and https://www.lemeno.io/nerds in recent years.

    Meteor built-in integration with MongoDB and real-time data system makes everything very fast to be implemented.
