I’ve been thinking about a learning + portfolio experiment and wanted to get some opinions from people who’ve tried similar things.

The idea is simple:

build the exact same small project in multiple web frameworks (frontend and/or backend), keeping the features as identical as possible.

The goal wouldn’t be to master every framework, but to:

• understand the trade-offs between them
• see how opinionated each one is
• compare setup time, DX, and code complexity
• get better at spotting patterns that transfer between frameworks

I feel like this could be a really good way to level up beyond just “learning one stack”.

The questions I’m stuck on

1. Is this actually a good idea?

Or does it end up being shallow learning compared to going deep into one framework?

2. What’s the best project to use for this?

I want something:

• small but real
• mostly CRUD
• not too UI-heavy
• easy to keep consistent across frameworks

Some ideas I’ve considered:

• a simple notes app
• a todo app with basic auth
• a link shortener
• a minimal blog (posts + editor)

If you’ve done something like this before, I’d love to know:

• what project you used
• how many frameworks you tried before it stopped being useful
• whether it helped long-term or just felt repetitive

Any advice appreciated
