What language is devRant built on? What stack is used?

Backend:
Developer frustration
Crushed dreams
Lowered expectations

Frontend ui:
Tears.js

Hahaha that's pretty finny

lmfao, feature request to +5 instead of +1 that comment! I LOLed IRL

What @arich said. Pretty solid stack IMO.

Haha, for real:
- Neo4j as the primary datastore
- Nginx web server
- PHP 7 for backend scripting
- adding ElasticSearch for new search feature coming soon
- Titanium Appcelerator for iOS and Android apps

@dfox good stack!! So I take it you wrote the iOS app in objective C? That's awesome. I've read that's the proper way compared to using something like phone-gap

Titanium Appcelerator is JavaScript :)

Titanium is native though. Meaning the apps produced, unlike phonegap and ionic, are actually using all native components, even though the app is written in JavaScript.

What coder said is true, which is why I prefer Titanium over solutions that are essentially web apps. You can still make really cool apps with ionic, Cordova, etc, but I've always found they were weakened by the lack of native controls and some decently essential native functionality.

@devfox I agree about ionic and phone gap. I'm eager to read up on titianium accelerator. I've been looking for a native solution not in Java or objective C. (I'm mainly .net and JavaScript ). Thanks for the info!

No problem! Definitely take a look at React Native too. It's supposed to be good but I haven't had much of a chance to play around with it yet. I think since it's pretty new it's also missing some stuff but it has a promising future I think.

Will do! I remember hearing hat react is supposed to be groundbreaking
