Ask HN: Next.js or Rails for a new project in 2023 I am torn. I am master level Rails and advanced beginner React / Next from my time at Tilt back in 2014-2015. When in doubt, I go to Rails but can't decide if I am just comfortable and holding onto the past, or if it's because ActiveRecord and the opinionated nature of it, is still so good. How are you all thinking in 2023? I know there is no answer, but I would love to know what others think. To sharpen, I am more curious about the following dimensions: * Hiring * Maintainability * Community Less worried about technical aspects, as in my experience those are rarely the things that make or break a project / app. Also, I know I can build a Rails backend, and then go React on the front-end, might happen, but if I go Rails, I might go full Turbo etc. Thank you! |
