Stack choices? #8

Open rajbos opened 6 years ago

rajbos commented 6 years ago

Should we start by checking which skills (or wishes) there are available for the tech stack? We can start a ASP.NET Core MVC application with an angular front-end, but if there aren't any contributors with any knowledge about e.g. angular, we will not get very far.

Personally I've got some ASP.NET Core MVC experience, but not so great front-end skills :-).

I have no Angular experience yet. But I have some Core 2.0 MVC experience. And for front-end: jquery, sass, bootstrap? The current project template uses bower which will be removed in 2.1 I believe or perhaps 2.0.1?

My view on tech:

ASP.NET Core Mvc
- who doesn't want Mvc
- ASP.NET Core is pretty much the same as full framework (after the middleware-part is done) so it's doable for everyone in the .NET world
- Angular might disqualify some people:
- not everyone knows Angular
- what version of Angular are we talking about?
- Angular basics might be doable but at what point does it become to much of a front-end thing?
- is there a need for Angular? does it simplify anything?
What about markdown for content (we use it here on GitHub)
- some markdown-files + a catch-all route in Mvc would result in a basic website (just add styling and forms/interaction)
- GitHub could be used as a basic CMS... it even comes with it's own WYSIWYG-editor for markdown

What about razor pages? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/mvc/razor-pages/ That could also be an option. And to display markdown content, perhaps https://github.com/showdownjs/showdown

We could start with dotnet new mvc --auth Individual https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/authentication/identity?tabs=netcore-cli%2Caspnetcore2x

I like the idea of ASP.NET Core and editing in Markdown, let’s go for that.

Additionally, I like the idea of Razor pages. I think we can mix and match if we want, using ASP.NET Core with pages and regular views and controllers for pages that need more functionality.
