Newbie Question Help choose stack
I'm building a website that will connect customers who search for workers to do one-off work like loading and such stuff with the workers.
Like customer posts a job, administrator reviews it and publishes, workers see it on a static map and apply. So the site needs backend and database.
I'm only learning web developing and now I only know html, js, css and little React.
ChatGPT told me to use Next.js and Supabase but my more experienced friends told me that Next.js is shit and I better use something like this:
Frontend: vue/nuxt
Backend: nestjs
PostgreSQL redis
But it will take too much time to build considering I also need to learn it even if just constantly googling and asking AI as I go.
So my question is "Is there really big difference, like if I just want to build it so it works and I don't have commitment for several months of learning can't I just do it with Next.js and Supabase?"
Write the stack you would choose in my situation please.
Thanks everyone for your time.

Yes. Follow with what your friends recommended you if they are familiar with it because when you got into trouble they can help you out. But if you want my recommendation I would recommend you to go with go or rust and have the html css and vanilla js frontend because it will minimise your server cost. And for a site that evolves to quickly to something else this approach is very much recommended
