    My recommendation is to use NestJS with a TypeORM controlled MongoDB backend, and a GraphQL interface.

  • Nest

    My recommendation is to use NestJS with a TypeORM controlled MongoDB backend, and a GraphQL interface.

  • Ionic Framework

    A powerful cross-platform UI toolkit for building native-quality iOS, Android, and Progressive Web Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

    More specifically, I could recommend the Ionic Framework- which work on top of Angular, React, and Vue - which will help you access platform-specific features and even package your client for different platforms.

  • gRPC

    The C based gRPC (C++, Python, Ruby, Objective-C, PHP, C#)

    Otherwise, I would use a tried and tested remote-procedure call (RPC) library, like gRPC.

  • foundation

    My recommendation is to use NestJS with a TypeORM controlled MongoDB backend, and a GraphQL interface.

  • Angular

    As for the client, if you're doing this in the browser. . . I would highly recommend using an established framework like Angular. There exists an interface in or for Angular for just about everything I've mentioned up to this point.
