The problem you describe does not require a complex technology stack.
Front-end: HTML5, sure. Considered JQueryMobile for the mobile app?
App: Use whatever you're most comfortable/experienced with. Even if that's PHP, use it.
Database: Have you been looking at MongoDB specifically because of its good geo-spatial indexing? If so, that makes sense. But if you don't need it - just use MySQL/Postgres. You'll be able to reach your goal without the learning curve of using a NoSQL DB.
- szcukg 15y agoI want to learn something new, I'm not aware what is most suitable for this kind of problem. I can do this the normal way with PHP or asp.net with a RDBMS, but then what's the fun in that.
- timkeller 15y agoCool - so I guess you're asking which is the "cooler" of the two solutions? If it was me - I'd go for the NodeJS and MongoDB... because I haven't got a chance to build anything meaningful in either as yet. And also because I think MongoDB's geo-spatial stuffs would be useful for your project.
