Dear HN-- I could use some advice... Covid has changed my living situation, my marriage situation and my child care situation. I take care of my daughter 4-6 days a week and cannot maintain a normal job due to this honor.
I have had a business idea kicking around my skull for a decade. It's a niche industry-- the SW package would mostly consist of a landing/social media/marketing/store site+CRUD web app+Mobile apps for this specific industry. Nothing groundbreaking.
I have celebrity contacts in this industry who have agreed to market this software, and I would like them to be able to say to their brethren, "We can deploy a website/mobile apps for you in X many hours." Meaning, I'd like to automate/parameterize everything as much as possible.
My question is-- what platforms and technologies should I be using? I don't think learning anything should be difficult for me.
But I'd like to do things in the most modern way possible, and need your input.
Thank you kindly,
OceanGhost
Unless you're operating at a scale where tech is the bottleneck (and by the sounds of it you won't be) it doesn't matter. There is no "should" here. Optimize for the dev experience and for writing robust, bug-free code. I'd recommend TypeScript and FireBase, with React Native for the mobile apps, but only because that's what I trust for doing the sort of thing you're talking about. If ten more people post you'll get ten more recommendations.
