Hello, I am building a website for a school that's used by students to find Zoom meeting links, view their marks, and check course materials. It is also used by the teachers to put the meeting links, students' marks, and course materials.

I created a similar website using HTML, CSS, PHP, and MySQL. Now I want to implement this project using some frameworks: Next.js, ExpressJS and use PostgreSQL instead of MYSQL

I want to have some advice on whether these are enough to implement my project

I have an existing personal website (https://hmenorjr.github.io) which is more of a splash/landing page only. I'm thinking of rebuilding it into a portfolio with a blog/article area. My go-to is WordPress now, because I've created a website for a small agency in the Philippines and exported it into HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You can check it here: https://hmenorjr.github.io/phoutsource.

I need advice if I should do the same. Build it with WordPress (using LocalWP) and export it as HTML, CSS, and JavaSrcript again, or build it manually with either Next.js or Svelte.

Before you look into Next.js, you could probably leverage feather.js here. Because the Website you linked is very basic you could be able to rebuild this page in mere moments.

You should get away as fast as you can from WordPress (not that it does not fit the task... but every WordPress Site is a thousandfold slower than even an averagely complex node.js implementation - just don't do it if you call yourself a developer :)

Hey Jonas, thanks for the advise. Yes, WordPress does the job for small projects. But no worries, I'm still exploring also and trying to implement with other techs. I will build a second version with feather.js ;)

Consider your familiarity with WordPress and the level of customization needed. If WordPress meets your requirements and you're comfortable with its ecosystem, go for it. However, if you prefer more control over your website and enjoy working with frameworks like Next.js or Svelte, building it manually could offer greater flexibility and performance. Assess your needs and preferences before making a decision based on fluency in different systems.

Use WordPress if you want it for something small or medium-sized. Don't waste your time building it when you can do it on WordPress easily.

MongoDBMongoDB

Hello, I wanna build an e-commerce website for myself and planning to build for others in the future. I really like Node.js, React, ExpressJS. But I don't know if MySQL or MongoDB is what suits me the best because at the moment I have a webhotel at a hosting provider and I like that setup, setting up emails, and having more control I guess over my situation.

But is there any way I can use MongoDB on cPanel or direct admin except using MongoDB Atlas which costs a lot of money?

Because I have a setup using React, Node, Express, and MySQL and it works kind of well when working in the direct admin panel. But I just wanna make sure I make the right decision now when I start building an e-commerce website both to be cost effective and also not have to learn too many things.

I am also open to tips for example choosing Next.js instead etc if that is actually necessary and would help me in the long run.

MongoDB
MySQL

Why would you allow your decision to be driven by the limitations of a hosting account? MySQL is a relational database, and typically you need a solid understanding of relational database design and SQL. MongoDB as a so called "Document database" is not relational. You can associate several MongoDB collections together if you understand the basic concepts behind, it, but in general, MongoDB does not have nor require a fixed schema. It can do many of the things a relational database can do, particularly if your data fits nicely into a hierarchical structure. It also often appeals to people like yourself that are working with a javascript stack, as the interface to MongoDB is json. If you can install a package onto your host, then you should be able to use MongoDB. With that said, you can do all your development locally using Docker containers. I would not suggest that you let important design decisions be dictated by what one shared host allows you to do.

MySQL

I think you should use MySQL but with php or Python because e-commerce websites needs to be fast and reliable with more admin tools and you’ll find what you need and more in e-commerce when using php or python frameworks with MySQL database.

Example: Using django (python framework) with MySQL gives you administration dashboard that you can use to edit in a lot of things and django also supports a lot of things like generating ready forms linked to the models you generated

Next.jsNext.jsPayload CMSPayload CMS
and
WordPressWordPress

We are an NGO and we got from a partner a new design for our knowledge-sharing platform https://morethandigital.info/en/. We have now almost finalized the UI/UX Design in Figma with all the flows and functionalities for the future platform.

Next.js came up often as a possible solution for our future "platform" but I am not sure, also I found Payload CMS in the process as WordPress seems to be not the right decision for us. The next generation of our knowledge-sharing platform should also have more functionalities as the current version is only an article publishing platform.

Some of the new functionalities we thought of to make consuming/sharing knowledge easier:

  • Better Author / Organization / Publication pages
  • Peer-Review Feedback and Translation Feedback
  • Translation flows and integration of machine translation suggestion
  • Collaboration and live collaboration (like Google Docs)
  • Follow Creators, Subscribe to Authors/Organizations
  • Create collections (collections of articles) and share them
  • As well as "Save for later" and other functionalities that help better interaction with content

As we are overwhelmed with the choices it is really hard to determine what technology stack/choices we should make in order to keep it as lean and easy as possible without creating too much overhead. Is there any "Best practice" you could recommend to allow for a low-cost development of our Design into a scalable infrastructure that doesn't cost thousands a month for hosting etc. (currently we serve 2.5 million people with 24 USD in Hosting and 20 USD in CDN with a WordPress system)? So please don't suggest options that are 100s of USD per month or thousands per month as we simply don't have the budget.

Any help/info/hints/recommendations are really appreciated!

hello, check out astro.docs and firebase hosting https://firebase.google.com/pricing. I really like their island inftastructure and its easy to deploy too. about the hosting you have a very cheap plan now with firebase you will pay as much as you use. You can also use your current hosting provider and move to firebase or somthing else if you run into the limits of your current hosting.

Consider leveraging Next.js for your NGO's knowledge-sharing platform, ensuring a seamless user experience. Combine it with Payload CMS for flexibility, moving away from WordPress. Optimize costs by exploring serverless architecture on platforms like Vercel or Netlify, allowing scalability without a substantial increase in hosting expenses.

Without a doubt, you will want PostgreSQL as a database. I imagine that the analytics will become important with time so that you can track activity around the video consumption.

Django is a batteries included and it will help you get to MVP quickly. Once you have settled on the functionality that you need for the chat and video application, you can then build a leaner, custom app with FastAPI. Next.js is a good frontend framework. Depending on how good you are in front-end engineering, you can also look at SvelteKit which works better in using HTML5 web standards and is less bulky that Next.js. Both are supported by Vercel, so they will be around for some time as technologies.

FlutterFlutterNext.jsNext.js

React NativeReact Native

I'm planning a social media mobile app. I would like to prototype using a cross-platform native solution, leaving room for a future web client. In mobile dev, I'm most experienced with Flutter but I use Next.js for web projects. Since I'm not a designer, I think material 3 would be a fair design system and it's integrated into Flutter. React Native does not have material 3 yet but it would allow an easier web implementation (I have found flutter web to be too slow)

What do you suggest?

Flutter

I think this is a good choice, so many design elements are considered for you such that even if you're not a great designer, as long as you're focused on layout and functionality it's relatively trival to go in later and apply themes and custom widgets. I'm using flutter for the same reasons as you it sounds like and for what it's worth people have been extremely pleased with the tools I've built for them even though I didn't really consider design. Knowing I don't have to worry about making things pretty for them to be attractive to end users is a huge boon for me and I hope it can be for you as well.

RE Flutter Web, I'm sure it will improve with time, I've only ever really seen it slow when it's first starting up. but once the app is "loaded" into the web server so to speak, it's generally been pretty performant assuming I'm doing things like caching appropriately.

I got a task at my previous company to compare between Flutter and RN and Xamarin. And Flutter was the better choice among the others, that was before version 3, and now after version 3 it becomes better, so I would recommend Flutter for you.
