Ask HN: What is a good tech stack for a startup in 2020?
"It depends.", you are correct. But, what is a >probable< good overall stack that you would use and why?
Talking about: SaaS, Web.

Native desktop client could utilize the same stack via Electron.
Backend could start with Python using a popular all-in-one framework like Django to begin with, and scale towards micro-service architecture over time as components grow in complexity.
Heroku is a good all-in-one infrastructure service that takes care of dev-ops for the first year.
Like others have mentioned, React+TS on the frontend is a great start. On the backend it depends on how technical your team is but Laravel/PHP or Node+TS is easy.
The best stack is the one you can actually ship fast. If your v1 isn't a messy disaster, then you're moving way too slowly.
Backend: Golang (Go) and a good framework like Gorilla.
