> not using React nowadays is actually harder than using it For a solo dev, the only thing React makes simpler is dealing with JS that has to manipulate a lot of HTML. If your app doesn't do that (IDK if nomadlist does or not), then React is overkill and unnecessary. Even if you want reusable components, for many simple usecases the React lifecycle is complex and unnecessary.
