Hi all. I have an idea for a small hobby project that I am excited to give a go. But most of my knowledge is in C++, native code, and game development. I do use React and React Native, Typescript, and a few web based technologies at work but I am quite weak at them.

I've managed to set up a small react app(hello world) and deploying on Netlify at the moment on my own domain name.

However, there are a few other areas I am not sure how/where to go. Some info:

    * 0 financial transactions. 
    * Small scale only. A few hundred to maybe 10k users a day at maximum ever. Mostly US based. 
    * Need small amount of custom user posted data, such as them posting 'entries', containing 1 image and 3 sentences worth of data. Think craigslist but prettier? 
    * Basic account creation and/or maybe using existing auth providers.
    * Typescript is a hard requirement
    * Modern approaches are ideal.
    * Mostly presenting lists/tables with filters/sorting. 5k-20k of unique data entries in lifetime of project. No big data needs here. 
    * Cheap/free is best, but do have small budget.
    * Stretch: Eventually want to offer a few basic 'pro features', subscription handled via Patreon or something.  
    * No ads. No analytics. 
    * I really like static site generators, any incorporation of that is A+. 

I did see this post a while ago, but it goes into things I don't think I have any need for. Such as I don't need scalable big solutions, this won't ever be big. Not sure if these are still recommended?

The biggest asks here

    1. I don't know what/how to use for backend to store dynamic data?
    2. I am looking for some basic starter template/things I can 'iterate' on instead of starting from scratch.

Searching for react starter templates seems riddled with 'old stuff', things that get pricey, big and complex fast, in javascript only(when I'd prefer typescript), or quite incomplete.
