Yeah, if I don't find anybody, I will try to do it by myself. The backend will be made in Spring and I thought about using some template engine, like Thymeleaf to do the front. But I'd prefer to work with REST APIs.

I'm a long time backend java developer who has always struggled with frontend tech. The situation today is actually pretty nice; with bootstrap (or other) you can get a "decent" looking site with very little effort (ie better than raw html). And if you just want to work with API, there are a few jquery ui base widget libraries around[1] I've used in SPA's before. Good luck!

If you want to work with REST APIs, it might be good for you to create a SPA application. The easiest thing to start seems to be Vue right now. With vue-cli with it's build command.

https://github.com/vuejs/vue-cli/blob/master/docs/build.md

Just create a single `.vue` file, run it with `vue build file.vue` and you can immediately just start hacking around. It can be even built that way for production.

Feels simple like in the old days with single index.html, but you aren't missing any features of modern frontend stack.
