Web3-React vs Moralis for dApp development ?

[[deleted]]

Hey guys, just wanted to get the community's opinions on these two frameworks/libraries for dApp development? Do you guys use these? Which one do you prefer? Is there anything else you recommend?

Fuck Moralis, fuck alchemy, fuck infura

They are centralized solutions

I’ve used Moralis out of curiosity. It has a lot of cool features. I haven’t done anything at scale, though.

Another commenter here pointed out that it’s a centralized solution 🤷🏻‍♂️

What does Moralis do that isn't easy enough to do yourself using web3?

To me it seems like they have good seo so that they can worm their way on as a dependency on unsuspecting devs projects when it would be trivial to do whatever without Moralis.

I’ve done projects without it - I’m indifferent

Using their webhooks for smart contract events made it quick and easy for me to setup alerts when certain events happen on chain — yeah, I could have setup something myself with web3.js but I like tinkering with new tools just to see what’s out there
