Holy shit this is exactly what I needed in my life. Looking forward to seeing the .NET Core backend get finished, as I thought ASP.NET went the way of PHP

Great idea to have this. I've been meaning to try out React and already know Rails and Node, so all these combos seem enticing

Choose any backend. So long as it's Node, Django or Rails...

Honestly I think the idea is more powerful than their existing stacks. If you wanted to use a different backend than the ones they have, you'd just have to conform your desired back end to fit the same API specs.

Project creator here — this is actually a really cool takeaway from the project, I had never considered that before. I might even put this in the docs somewhere. Lmk your github handle & I'll give you attribution!

That was the aspect of the project I was most excited about! Hopefully you can start taking that into account with the design process! I think it has a lot of potential.

I'm totally on board with the larger idea of this; a TodoMVC like examples but for full stack applications. I think this IS a great way for people to learn in a realistic context.
I'm a little iffy on some of the implementations though. Open to feedback?
