I've been running small SaaS businesses since 2019 with varying degrees of success (currently running a profitable one). I never really got into JS front-end frameworks.

what kind of stack do you use instead?
- jmstfv 10mo ago
  Rails, SQLite, Redis, all hosted on a bare metal server (Hetzner). Deploy with Capistrano (a fancy bash script). Tailwind for styling -- i heavily use their components/templates, which is quite convenient.
