briandoesdev | 2 years ago | on: Ask HN: If you were to build a web app today what tech stack would you choose?

I've really been into what I call the "HAG" stack: HTMX, Alpine.JS, Go.

It's simplicity has been a fresh of breath air. I love Go and being able to use it for almost the entire web app is amazing. I am excited for the upcoming router enhancements Go has proposed, that will let me move off Chi router. I try to stay as close to the std lib as possible. Though, the `templ` package is amazing and I very much will continue to use it when possible.

For my database I use `libsql` by Turso with server mode.

As for deployment, I just dockerize the app and the database then run them as two separate components in a Docker App.

Makes it a simple and easy to develop and deploy updates.

I wish FB had a way for me to disable posts from companies, pages, "shared" content etc.. I only want to see photos and status updates from friends. That is all. I don't want memes or reels. It's sad that in the first 10 items on my FB Home, only 1 is from a friend and its just a shared meme.

The site wealthygorilla[.]com alters your history by erasing the current contents and replacing it with more of their articles. It irritated more way more then it should've the one time I went to their site. I went through and found the JS where they implemented that "feature".

I ran internal phishing email exercises were I use to work. We never let users know when it was an exercise vs real-world event, they always got the same automated response that it was being looked into and that was all. I guess luckily for our users no one ever received any training or punishment for "falling" for our emails. We use to do it mainly for click rate tracking.
