How, what, where?

At the moment I have an application running in CI4 but I want to rewrite it;

For the following reasons:
- Never worked with a (PHP) Framework before so the code is quite sloppy.
- It started as a hobby project, which it still is, but now about 30 people use it and this is going to grow.
- I now work in the production environment and that is of course not really the intention.

I am just getting a bit overwhelmed with all the possibilities that are now available. My knowledge in JS is quite low and so I have looked at for example React, Vue etc., but I do not know if a SPA is necessary since I only want to add a few active elements.

Now I once asked around and one advises CodeIgniter the other Laravel with for example Vue/React (Inertia) or Alpine (AJAX)... "CodeIgniter is death" etc. etc. etc.. There is too much, lol!

Have you ever faced this choice? I will always be the only one who will manage this project.

for front end you can use Ci4 template view in conjunction with Bootstrap. The template is very similar the way you use them to Laravel blade. You just have one template view that contains all the links to bootstrap css, contains all the header and footer stuff , js scripts just before the end of the body tag. All views which just have the relevant content simply "extend" the main template. By leveraging bootstrap you also have access to flexbox

I also recommend Bootstrap, and I also use jQuery because I find it convenient. There's hard core developers who will tell you this is old hat, but if it works it works.

There all nothing but tools use the right tool for the application.

These are the tools I use: CodeIgniter 4, Bootstrap and jQuery.
