Forms are a big part of full-stack projects. In our experience, Zod and React Hook Form work great together and provide all the functionality one might need to create forms. In this combo, Zod provides schema validation (types, min/max bounds, lengths, enums, etc.) while React Hook Form gives a flexible API to interact with the form. With these two libraries, one can nest components that interact with the same form, perform different complex validations, and update the data on the fly. They make working with forms seem too easy.
One great product that can be used for authentication is Clerk but we currently use the default Firebase authentication system as it works pretty well. Firebase even has a separate package called firebaseui-web that helps one set up Firebase authentication without writing any UI code.
There are several alternatives to MUI. shadcn/ui is a modern alternative that is very popular. Ant Design is also a great alternative. Charkra UI can also be used as a UI Framework. Some people suggest just using styled components. Some use Tailwind CSS. Yet, for both styled components and Tailwind CSS, one still writes a lot of CSS. This might not provide the best developer experience compared to using a UI Framework, especially if we aim to avoid designing all the pages on the website.

Platforms like Firebase and Supabase provide backend as a service helping you scale to millions of users without maintaining your own infrastructure. We currently use Firebase for authentication, storage, database (Firestore), and serverless functions to handle custom backend logic.

As the core frontend technology, React stands out as the top pick for many full-stack projects. While there are other options like Vue or Svelte, React shines because of its vast range of libraries. This big ecosystem makes it easier to add new features and change things fast, which is why it's a favorite for many developers.
That's where Next.js shines. It's a React framework that provides server-side rendering and static website generation. So, the pages powered with Next.js get rendered on the server first, after which the HTML is sent to the browser, making sure the initial content of the page has all the necessary information about the page. After the page is rendered, only the necessary JavaScript is sent to the client, making sure that the bundle sent to the user's browser is minimal. This improves both the users's experience and how well search engine bots understand the page.
In our experience, the most efficient way of going about UI/UX was by picking a solid UI framework (MUI in our case) and following a design template instead of asking a designer to create everything in Figma, after which the developers would re-create everything in the React app. We kept a single source of truth - the codebase. This literally saved us months!
