I absolutely despise front-end work and styling, (and JS too), coming from a C++ / Java background, what would be a good framework or anything really to make it as painless as possible for me to build a front end.

• react-admin

  65 24,029 9.9 TypeScript

  A frontend Framework for building data-driven applications running on top of REST/GraphQL APIs, using TypeScript, React and Material Design

  

For the admin panel, or basically anything with basic crud operations, take a look at https://marmelab.com/react-admin/. Most frontend devs don't like it, since it limits you somewhat in customization, but at the same time, it is very easy to grasp for someone coming from a backend dev profile, who just wants a crud UI. It even has a guesser template that proposes an initial screen layout based on the response of your api, which you can then copy-paste and finetune. It is really made to make quick admin crud ui's.

• SurveyJS
