&gt; <i>But in the little free time I have available</i><p>&gt; <i>But after work and family, there isn&#x27;t much time left </i><p>If you want to ship ASAP with little time investment, IMO nothing beats Meteor. Skills required: HTML, CSS, JS.<p>I&#x27;ve built projects with PHP, Rails, Django, Node, Angular, etc ... and Meteor is the framework I recommend to newcomers. Ok, you&#x27;re not exactly a newcomer, but clearly you&#x27;ve been disconnected many years and you don&#x27;t have enough free time to learn new tools&#x2F;languages. You&#x27;ll need a lot of abstractions (features, deployment, db interfacing, best practices, etc)...<p>Meteor will help you with this, a lot... And the most important thing: it&#x27;s a lot of fun!<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.meteor.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.meteor.com&#x2F;</a><p>0,02
