Any back end will work fine with those front-end frameworks. You just have to be able to build out an HTTP API. Rails is still perfectly viable, just less dominant than 5 years ago.

If you’re building this thing to have it built, I’d say go with what you know - at least on the back end where what you know is still relevant. Learning new front end paradigms will be enough of a challenge in itself.

If you’re building it primarily as a learning project, then go ahead and pick up something new for the back end too.
