It sounds, though, as if this stranger approached politely and respectfully and didn’t press the issue when you indicated lack of interest. A man who did the same would probably not be harassing. This law is clearly not targeting any potent

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
