[QUOTE="Chuckie_, post: 468988, member: 86709"] React is a frontend library, you're getting things mixed up. You need to figure out what you actually want to achieve with this - if you're in it for the sake of just doing the frontend, learning React (which is my my preferred with TypeScript) or another JS frontend library would be a very good start, as it's a good skill to master these, and the retro community lacks projects adheering to up-to-date technology (across the whole stack actually) instead of using raw and bloated html/css on a php framework from 2010 or what do I know. Don't take up constructing a whole CMS from scratch if you're only doing it for the sake of other people, but if you're serious about it you can either use an existing CMS such as Heroic (JS/TypeScript as far as I remember) or ARES (PHP) - don't take me up on either of those, they are just the one's that came to mind, haven't used them myself. If you want to make your own backend from scratch (and it sounds like you would prefer Node), you would have to look at something like Express or NestJS. You don't do backend with React, that's meant for making the user client. Of course I don't know at what skill level you are, so take this with a grain of salt and do your own thing. Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
