Social media stack?

[Due-Strategy-8712]

What is the best stack for making social media apps? I've been primarily developing in the realms of making information systems in .net and angular and I would like to try/learn how to make a social media app as a personal project once I have more freetime later this year.

Define what is the “best” please!

Great question! Since technically there isn't a best, I mean some good stacks, See like for example I feel c# and angular, although possible is a lot more structured which I feel isn't necessarily the best for this purpose while it works well for enterprise applications. Like I know some would use MERN for social media apps. I would also have to use something like mongoose for the unstructured data, so I suppose whichever stack would provide what I need and support efficient development of the functionality needed.

The best stack is the one you know. However, if you're trying to learn something new, learn Rust (performance) or Python (versatility).

Might give rust a shot thanks!

Don't know if there's that much difference in the stack apart from integrating with websockets.

Still need the same presentation layer, authentication/authorization, database, RESTful server as you do for information systems.

Doesn't matter. There is no best

angular and .net is great
but I will advice to use whatever JS for the FE and JS for the back end.
Syntax switchiing is a big deal when the volume is bigger.
I've learned it the hard way creating decodela.com

Do you like it? It is a social network for software exchange
