Ask HN: Simplest stack to build web apps in 2021?
I was starting to look at the same thing.  I used to do a bit of Django development (5ish years ago) and things seemed to have changed a good amount with the tooling &#x2F; frontend.<p>Does anyone have an opinionated stack they like with Django to get things up and running quickly that could also set me up well for the future for a website and an app(if I want to transition the website to a stable business, etc)?<p>The things I&#x27;d be looking for opinions on:<p><pre><code>  - django vs DRF
  - react (or next.js) vs vue vs something else for frontend
  - what other tooling should I use for modern front end development
  - what else is in your stack for CI&#x2F;CD, rollbacks, db migrations, deployments, etc.
  - do you use any other templates or themes for the frontend to make the UI look good?
  - how you handle security &#x2F; auth when using a front end framework with django as the backend -- are there any tricks? I&#x27;ve heard JWT can cause headaches 
  - any django packages they recommend using, or other front end packages that are popular
</code></pre>
Thanks!
