Hey everyone, first post so go easy if

Hey everyone, first post so go easy if this is the wrong place to start a convo like this... however I'm in an odd place where I have a small but growing database of motorsports data that I have been slowly building up as a passion project over the years, but its in a highly dated and very basic LAMP stack that started in 2009 and has been held together with parcel tape and dreams ever since...

I want to finally use the data to create a public web app (maybe phone app?) and I want to use it as a ground up learning exp but be 'modern' and i KNOW convex is the right starting point! I found it purely by chance and it seems ideal the more I read.. but I honestly dont know where to start when it comes to the rest of the stack or even the approach with migrating the mysql/php horrorshow over!?

can anyone point me in the direction of a stack you think might suit? a tutorial/guide/101 setup for something vaguely similar?

TLDR: I'm a primarily FE dev (Angular & React) looking to migrate a motorsports statistic database from private LAMP admin to convex + ?? public web app / phone app and dont know where to start.
