Recommendations for Building CRUD Web Application...

2
•
I'm in the preparation stages of building and launching a new web application. I'm looking at using @Supabase for the backend and trying to decide on what to use for the front-end. My goal is to build this quickly (hackathon style). I want to develop an aesthetically pleasing front-end but value speed (development and performance) over shiny. I have experience with React and Vue. I'm not sure that either is necessary although some of the prebuilt component libraries make them attractive. I haven't worked with htmx, but there is a lot of buzz around it. On the other hand, I am unaware of any pre-built component libraries for it... Bootstrap is also a faithful, if not as popular, option. I haven't worked with it recently but it worked fairly well in the past. Probably one of the bigger deals for this front-end is the ability to have fairly robust out-of-the-box data display, search, and editing functionality. Any thoughts, suggestions are appreciated!

Go with Next.js for the frontend, Express.js for the backend and MongoDB or PostgreSQL for storage.

I gave htmx a try, and it's fast, but it lacks the prebuilt components I like.
