I've got an idea for a site I'd like to make, nothing complicated, just a little project to open source and show what I can do. I primarily use Rails and React, but this project could be done in just React with a Firebase (or similar) backend. My question is, do I make a Rails API just to show some of my rails code, or go with what I'd recommend a client do and go with Firebase? Thoughts?

    I’d go with what it should be instead of showing off skills. This days a lot of people over complicate code for this very reason and I mean I’ve seen this a lot. Just my 2 cents to your question

    @PappyHans <---- bro has got a good point. But maybe you can indeed add it since you are trying to flex your skillset. Having a db that contains your level of skills and so forth and presenting it through a nice React frontend and explaining what you are doing would give you extra credibility points man. Either way you are fine really
