Backend: Node.js+Exress. Although I'm recently looking into serverless options (e.g. using AWS Lambda, etc.)
Frontend: Bootstrap for looks and CSS sanity. Knockout for data binding; it's a mature framework that works fine for small- to medium-sized web apps. If I'm to learn something new, I'd go for Vue.js, whose concepts look very much like Knockout and it benefits from virtual DOM rendering.
