CodeMyst's made a site like that (https://paste.myst.rs), and its source code is public on GitHub; you could take a look at that (assuming you understand D)

You can use any language

#

You could make it in C#, or Java, or NodeJS

#

or PHP

Maybe try breaking down stuff first try making a simple frontend UI in html (your preferred language) then work with backend like how will the code get stored. You can use HTML, CSS, JS to build that website but yeah you can choose any

I dont see any point in still using php nowadays other than having an headache

#

I recommend NodeJS

#

Or if you want it a bit easier maybe Python with like Flask or sth

#

But thats harder to use for production

Yeah I was mainly referring to the usability part. I just don’t think it’s the easiest especially when you come from languages that all feature a similar syntax and then comes php.

#

Obviously it’s still used a lot but that doesn’t make it necessarily good ;)

Same argument could be made about js with it's quirks ;)

#

Well having front end and backend in the same language helps a lot tho.

#

And yes js has its quirks but I would still argue it’s easier than php

glad hornet
#

I wouldn't but that's for a different thread at a different time

There are still a lot of performance aspects that make NodeJS superior

I Never worked with netlify before. Can’t really tell you

i'm pretty sure netlify is intended for modern static sites only - you cannot run server-side applications on there

#

if you want a proper server to deploy, you could go with digitalocean or vultr

#

maybe heroku, idk

#

usually properly hosted means some sort of payment
