Ask HN: What's your go to frontend stack for rapid MVP development?

[fsto]

Hey!

We’ve enjoyed building products from scratch for a good amount of time now and, in terms of web frontend, we’ve gone through the classical path from no-framework -> angular 1 -> react -> svelte with a bunch of component libraries (most recently Tailwind UI)

For max iteration speed; what frontend stack would you pick today to build an MVP which later can be iterated quickly on while searching for PMF?

To be clear: I understand accuracy is as crucial as speed. This question is about unlocking iteration speed.

Scenario: - Building MVP, then iterating rapidly to PMF - Mostly UI for CRUD - Need standard UI components with some flexibility. A Tailwind based component lib is preferred. - Fast iteration is crucial - Okay with some tech debt if it significantly speeds up development

Questions: 1. Fastest framework to get from zero to PMF? (React/Vue/Svelte/other?) 2. Component library for quick development and iteration? 3. Clever shortcuts you took that didn't hurt too much when scaling? Vercel? 4. Speed traps you'd warn others about?

I really like Next.js + MUI: https://mui.com/

It's incredible how easy it is to make a dashboard-like app and customize it/extend it later. Check out their templates for some ideas: https://mui.com/store/#populars

Thanks for sharing! I haven’t checked out MUI before. Will check it out.

Didn't use it, but think nextjs would be a good choice on this scenario.

[fsto]

Yeah, it’s been a good choice before. Have you used any component library that’s increased your productivity significantly?

PMF?

Any component library you’ve gotten a good workflow with?

Thanks for sharing! Do you have any component library you’ve felt productive using?
