I've been doing a lot of web dev for the past few years and have used angular, react, and vue in production within the last year.

My recommendations:

- Vue+vuetify is my preference for frontend framework. None of them are perfect but I think Vue is the simplest. Tailwind is nice for prototyping but doesn't scale well , I always end up ditching it after a few weeks

- Typescript on both frontend and backend (to easily share code & interfaces and get nice IDE goodies in VSCode). I like NestJS or just plain express.

- Avoid ORMs, I like Kysely for Postgres

- You can easily spin up a database (RDS), frontend (CloudFront), and backend (Lambda is easiest) within the free tier on AWS.
