capl··on Ask HN: What web stack would you use for startup, and why?
Cool! I haven't heard of Turso until now but it looks great. Why choose it over Planetscale, though?

I've been looking at HTMX + Go for some time but I just don't know if it's worth it over React which I already know. Is it really more productive, or is it simply a ideology/hype thing? I'm also a Go fan because it values simplicity, which I think we should all strive for, so the HTMX + Go combo appeals to me, even though I haven't looked at HTMX as I mentioned. Having to use C# and TypeScript at work, I start to see the real appeal of simplicity more and more... I'm becoming a grug brained dev :O

capl··on Ask HN: How is Apple able to make quality software?
that's true, the only price point an android will be more resource efficient / performant is around 200$ mark, but only since there is no iPhone at that price point. I think it's unfortunate and partly or entirely due to the fact Android is built upon Java instead of native code.

Yeah I've been looking at Blazor for some time, and the .NET 8 updates are great, but I just don't know if I like the .razor DSL and the fact that things are either SignalR (latency) or .NET runtime in the shape of WASM (huge bundle, literally the kitchen sink).

The biggest upsides to Blazor is that, as you said, greatly simplify development as you basically have only one code base to think about with Blazor Server, and you save a lot of time not worrying about the backend / frontend bridge. On the other side, there is a demon on my shoulder whispering that the customer doesn't care about developer UX, and they'd go for a native web-app over a latency-riddled or slow initial load web app.

Cool! Seems very productive. Only thing I'm thinking of is reliability and the lack of control since you aren't hosting it yourself.
