Ask HN: What's Your Approach to a New FE Web Project?

2 pointsOulaX1 comment

I am just curious how other developers start their projects from scratch/what's their workflow like?

After getting the design handoff from the designer, and after setting up your framework of choice, how do you usually start? Are there any base styles you apply to all projects? Do you start creating components right away? Or develop the pages first then move on to seperating the components out?

I don't do FE professionally, so it's only small projects with my framework included in the HTML and no build step.

And since these are small projects, I don't have a designer hand-off their work to me. It's just Bootstrap 5 for base styling, customized to suit my taste. :)

I use VueJS, because it allows this workflow, but I'm exploring Alpine, because I'm not sure Vue will stick to its progressiveness in the future. There's also petite-vue by Evan You, but I don't think that has a future also.
