If you had to make a reddit/kbin-like clone, what tech stack would you use?

ANuStart@kbin.social to Programming@kbin.social – 7 points –

Thinking of starting a personal project to keep busy. I'm very good with databases and SQL but interested in branching out to more full-stack

I'm thinking Supabase, Sveltekit and Svelte

What would you all use?

Lemmy uses Actix Web for the backend, which I'd probably pick too. The frontend though, I'd prefer to just render templates on the server instead of building a SPA in JavaScript.

This really doesn't need that level of interactivity, and it's used for annoying things like live-updating my frontpage. Maybe I'm just biased from how bad reddit's redesign was. This is at least way better than that.
