tldwtr (too long, don't want to read): Question is in large bold below.
I may have asked this before, but I think enough time has past that the answer might be different now. . .
I wrote an app using a low code solution. App works well, is easy enough to modify, etc. But, it also runs and looks like it was developed on a low code platform. There are a handful of limitations that I wish I could work around. So, I'm toying with the idea of writing it from scratch. Call me crazy, but I do think I have a marketable product.
Currently, the tool is based on java script and postgresql. The tool runs the web server on AWS and is loaded as a package and takes care of all the setup. I don't know any of the back ground stuff on how it all works. It just does. It loaded itself. The DB is currently on supabase.com. A free postgresql server host. At least free for the volume of stuff I currently do.
If I want to do all this from scratch, I'd need to run a web server. Have the javascript app running on that server and talking to a postgresql server. I would plan on doing all that on AWS because I don't want to deal with network security. BUT, I would want 'customers' to have the option to run it on their own hardware if they want.
Anyone have any experience with this stuff? Lets start with a javascript compiler. Is their a 'visual java script' out there? Is there any 'visual' platform that I could write a web app with? If not, what's an easy, good enough web app language? This is a light load small transaction app that will have a small user count. I think from there, I could google/AI how to connect to a DB and run on a web server. I'm not too concerned about the postgresql server part. I find that to be very similar to mysql which was pretty straight forward.
Later questions: Security. Both app and DB. Don't plan on having personal info, but people still aren't going to want to have their shit hacked and broken.

VS.Code is a popular IDE for web development. I don't use it, but know many people who do and enjoy it. So it's worth checking out at the very least.

So what exactly. . . Do you do here?!
I always thought you were a programmer.

I'm a CTO now, so I mostly just tell other people what to do. My focus has been data engineering for the past decade or so. C# before that.
