## Alternatives Considered
|
|
|
|
| Category | Recommended | Alternative | Why Not |
|
|
|----------|-------------|-------------|---------|
|
|
| Frontend Framework | React | Vue.js | While Vue is great, React has stronger ecosystem and community support for this type of application |
|
|
| Database | PostgreSQL | MongoDB | MongoDB is document-based and less suitable for structured relational data like task relationships |
|
|
| Backend Framework | Express.js | NestJS | NestJS adds overhead for this application's simpler requirements |
|
|
| State Management | Zustand | Redux | Redux has more boilerplate and complexity for a single-user task manager |
|
