+1 for Meteor. It makes is far, far easier to develop a client-server + mobile web app than any other combination of server-side framework and client libraries. You get web, Android and iOS apps from the same codebase, and direct integration with the largest repository of libraries, https://www.npmjs.com/ https://www.npmjs.com/, with over 300k libraries. Yes, 300k libraries means a lot of crap one, which is why there's http://npms.io http://npms.io, which searches by code quality + popularity + how well the library is maintained. Meteor covers security, authentication, database, client-server sync, mobile app generation, but leaves the choice of front-end library to you. It works with Polymer Paper Elements (Material Design for the web), as well as with React. It's an opinionated platform that makes a lot of choices for you, but has become more and more flexible. You can swap the view layer, and the database layer too (Postgres and MySQL are supported besides the default MongoDB).
