Great... I was hired to make a store system for this newborn startup... which isn't very tough, given I know PHP. Now they want me to build a social media for designers, just like Instagram, to encourage them to share their designs in an attempt to increase sales. And I'm the only Dev in the startup of ten.

Well, initially, I was not very pleased, but as I researched on how would I even do that, I realised it would really help my skill set, not to mention the points I'll be able to add to be resumé.

So far I've looked up how I'll have to use JSON/XML, coupled with PHP. I chose to learn Angular.JS for frontend dynamicity.

Any advice/help for this novice? Or any better frameworks I could use? (Don't say ruby-our web hosting site does not support it.)

    Isn't Dribbble already there to do that? I would recommend your team to test out what you guys want to do before actually building such a big system. I would also recommend building a quick prototype using the MEAN stack so that it can be developed faster and can be used to test out the concept. You might need to pivot on it a lot and going the traditional way will limit you. Once everything is stable, then you can build the entire back end on php or whatever is scalable.

    If u r looking into Angular.js you may want to try Firebase.io (along with AngularFire plugin to work with Angular.js).

    This may not be the best description but its a backend db that allows you to listen in to any change to the backend. So the backend will sort of fire an event and ur frontend (angularfire) can pick it up.
