You seem tailor made for T3 stack: https://github.com/t3-oss/create-t3-app
> I know about Node.JS, Angular, React, Express
Already know just JS. Stick was JS framework.
> A central definition of data schemas. I don't want to define my schema or validation twice, once in the frontend and once in the backend.
T3 stack uses Prisma, a JS/TS "ORM". Your data schema will live in a .prisma file.
> Automatic generation of REST endpoints. I hate boilerplate code and don't want to reimplement Get/GetOne/Add/Update/Delete and Websocket for each data model. Even better would be a GraphQL interface.
T3 includes tRPC. Give the automated tRPC endpoints a whirl.
> Authorization and Authentication
T3 includes NextAuth.js

pretty sure anvil is open-source now.
open source.

i should be a paid for how much i recommend looking at them, but i've never used it for anything production.

Appwrite
Appwrite - The Open Source Firebase alternative introduces iOS support . Appwrite is an open source backend server that helps you build native iOS applications much faster with realtime APIs for authentication, databases, files storage, cloud functions and much more!
-
> 1. Hasura - DB + Basic APIS, 2. Ory.sh for Auth/Authz
Great choices!
3. React on the frontend
Here I'd go with Elm, and a generated GraphL API client. Here an example to play with (which btw also includes ZomboDB for ElasticSearch integration into Postgres)
https://github.com/cies/low-code-backend-dockered
> 4. Windmill.dev
Look awesome, never heard of it. Tnx
> If you like code-focused solution: Rails, Laravel and Django are good options.
I think Kotlin/KTor, while not as full featured, is a much better alternative due to the strong typing discipline.

Vapor[0] based on Swift. Advantage of this is that you don't have to evaluate multiple frameworks for Swift and suffer paralysis by analysis. All the Swift community is behind one framework.
The next is Actix[1] based on Rust. There are many frameworks in Rust and most of them have not reached 1.0 And which framework will survive becomes a question.
Other not so well-known is Wt[2] based on C++. This actually is created for programmers who are not web developers. The development experience is similar to desktop app development like Qt.
If that is not acceptable then Django[3], based on Python, is the one that will be good for you.
For the front-end I would recommend Flutter[4]. As much as I dislike getting tied to a single company for whom the framework is not their bread-and-butter, I don't see any other viable options to Flutter that will cover all web, mobile and desktop out of the box.
For databases, I would recommend BedrockDB[5], if you are not averse to SQLite. Or FoundationDB[6], if you want NoSQL. But if you are not concerned about horizontal scalability or okay with self-managing database availability, then PostgreSQL[7] is a very good option.
For push notifications, PushPin[8] is a good option.

Ruby on Rails https://rubyonrails.org/ seems to meet all of these requirements:
- ActiveRecord is wonderful for data schemas: https://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_migrations.html
- ActiveRecord form validations is excellent and defined only on the model
- Scaffolds automatically generate create/read/update/delete endpoints: https://guides.rubyonrails.org/v3.2/getting_started.html#get...
- Websocket-driven updates provided by Hotwire / Turbo Streams: https://turbo.hotwired.dev/handbook/introduction
- Authorization and Authentication by Devise: https://github.com/heartcombo/devise
HAML is wonderful as a templating language as well.

framework
Mayu is a live-streaming server-side component-based VDOM rendering framework written in Ruby (by mayu-live)
Check it out if you want, https://github.com/mayu-live/framework
It's far from production ready, but it's already working reasonably well.
I tried HotWire but it didn't feel right to me because I'm used to React.
