I agree that dealing with the front-end can be a drain sometimes, but unfortunately it's necessary for many types of MVPs that require a rich UI.

Do you have any such MVPs or projects you could share?

I'm currently working with a friend of mine on an MVP that we plan to offer as a service, and the source code is not open, but the stack is: React (JSX + ES6 + Webpack) + Tachyons for frontend, Ruby (Grape + Sequel) for frontend API, Golang for workers and processing, PostgreSQL as a DB and Redis for caching
