High-level questions, to help user take decisions about bati HOT 4 CLOSED

Not the be-all-end-all, but maybe some inspiration:

from bati.

It could be a good alternative entry point for people which are not sure of what technology they want/need.
We probably should define a global flow to choose which Bati UI to show on which conditions.

I can't think of some kind of flow right now but maybe there will be some, e.g. if "No database" then some questions will become irrelevant. We'll see I guess 👀.

Maybe there are some questions we want to always show the user? For expert users it could be pesty, but I'm thinking a solution could be to make answering questions optional, so that expert users can go right ahead and select the tools they want.

As for the UI, maybe we can show the questions on a compact left sidebar? (If we don't need some kind of flow in the foreseeable future.)

Questions helping you choose:

• _{Do you like JSX? [i]}
• _{Is your website internal? [i]}
• _{Does content change only occasionally? [i]}
• _{Do you need to persist data? [i]}

With compact yes/no toggles like on mobile UIs.

On a tangent, it could be neat to show a confirmation:

✅ No issues detected.

⚠️ 2 warnings:

1. You selected I like JSX and Vue. While Vue does support JSX, it's a second class citizen and we recommend using Solid or React instead.
2. You selected Content changes only occasionally and Vercel. For websites with content that changes only occasionally (e.g. a few times a day), we recommend using a static host such as GitHub Pages or Netlify.

A wizard UI would be for Junior devs and new Bati users, and the current UI for users that have already used it before I think. So I think that both UI will need to exist at any moment.

That's something I would need to test

That's a good addition, could be added rather sooner than later if it's simple enough 👍
