I'm currently developing a trial web app similar to Tinder, which will involve videos and some algorithmic features like matrix factorization for recommendations. This is a solo project, so it's just me doing all the coding. A friend suggested using Angular, but I'm hearing that it might be overkill for something this small. Someone else mentioned Svelte as a potentially lighter and more efficient alternative. I'm willing to invest time to learn either Angular or Svelte to ensure I'm proficient, but I'd like to know if using Angular makes sense for this project or if Svelte would be a better match for a one-person team.

Use what you're comfortable with, or just build it and pick things up as you go along. And hey, it's cool your doctor dabbles in programming!
If you haven't worked with either framework, I'd personally lean towards Svelte. It's user-friendly, and I've found I’m way more productive with it. That said, both technologies have their merits!
Thanks for the advice! I appreciate it.
Honestly, I wouldn't choose Angular for a small project like yours. React seems to have a wealth of resources, and unless there’s a compelling reason not to use it, I'd recommend going that route.
There are countless options out there. What are your main goals with this app? If it’s to learn a technology for job prospects, opt for what's popular in your desired field. But if your priority is to build something quickly, maybe consider using Laravel instead.
The tech stack really boils down to what you prefer. Maybe experiment with both and see which one clicks with you? The actual project shouldn't be heavily influenced by the framework you choose.
Yeah, I was thinking of trying both but I'm also starting from scratch, which complicates things.
LOL, I actually meant my professor, not a doctor!
