React hook form is miles ahead as compared to Formik. It causes way less overhead than formik.

Same with framermotion vs react spring. Framermotion wins literally everywhere as compared to other animation libs out there.

What do you guys recommend as a backend tech. to learn and works good with React?

[ihtesham510]

use firebase for complete backed service or use nodejs with express and for the database use mongodb

[Rense Bakker]

Pretty good list 👍 I wish you'd add jotai as a state management solution though! And maybe SWR for making requests. SWR works really well with nextjs/Vercel.

Tables can also have AG grid (ag-grid.com/react-data-grid/)
