+| Backend       | Go          | It's fast. Go compiles to a single native binary, and it compiles fast. It's simple. It's a small language without a ton of feature bloat. It's statically typed. The compiler catches type bugs before your code even runs. Concurrency is built in. Goroutines are very powerful, which is a big reason tools like Docker and Kubernetes are written in Go.                                                                                  |
 | Web framework | HTMX        | Server-side rendering reduces client-side roundtrip complexity; same API calls happen server-side but feels quicker/lighter on the client |
 | Frontend      | HTML/CSS/JS | Standard building blocks, no framework chosen yet                                                                                         |
 | Database      | PostgreSQL  | Scales better than SQLite, at the cost of more setup/learning overhead                                                                    |
