How do you quickly prototype a webapp in 2020?

I'm using a VueJS/VuetifyJS frontend and Firebase backend.

Bento is a great Vue and Firebase PWA template to quickly get you started. https://github.com/kefranabg/bento-starter

https://bubble.io/ - for non-developers, good for prototyping and simple apps but not scalable

https://remaketheweb.com/ - seems cool, full-stack framework, not totally flexible but might be interesting for simpler apps

We are working on an open-source project for developers that would be both easy to use but also flexible and scalable. You can see it here: https://wasp-lang.dev/ - it's still a work in progress, but would be cool to get your feedback!

I use Postgres + PostgREST.

PostgREST is an amazing tool for cutting down all the middleware you’d normally need to build.

A bit of a plug but I’m also building supabase.io which gives real-time functionality to Postgres (like Firebase)

about 10 years too late, but I'm just discovering heroku + django magic.

haven't tried the cookiecutter for django yet, but I understand it streamlines it further.

currently using:

- django

- django-allauth (enable only g suite)

- django-rest-auth

- djangorestframework

- django-heroku

- local postgres for development

- heroku postgres for production

this stands up an admin-ready site with authentication and a Rest API.

I've been experimenting and generally happy with https://stacker.app, creates a web portal from an airtable with authentication

I use Webflow. No code. Some HTML/CSS knowledge will be helpful. You can be online in a day or two if you have 3 to 7 pages.

Auth0, did it yesterday, authentication ready to test in 15 minutes.

For backend was very quick and refreshing to use kotlin and javalin.
