Expo for a unified code base of native and web on the front end. I've read that NoSQL databases are not good for social apps, the many-to-many relationships between users will lead to writing a lot of logic around joining data. I'm personally more comfortable in Django/Postgres, but I think Laravel/MySQL is fine.

Yes, there is an opinion that MongoDB not a good choice for store that kind of data. PostgreSQL is the second tool I have been thinking about.
Thank you.
