Ask HN: Any front end stack recommendation?

It&#x27;s a massive and complex framework with a vertical learning curve, and relatively poorly documented.<p>I also highly recommend using Typescript throughout with Tslint on very strict settings using Microsoft&#x27;s extensions and VsCode as your editor. This will provide the least painful experience for a front end transition that&#x27;s already going to be....shocking
