Explain to me like I am 5: What to use for front end of a node-express back end application??

Okay so I am currently working on a personal project, the application returns nearby users. It is gonna need some real time feedback that is why i chose node and express framework for the back end and mongoDB for the database. first decision made(whew!)Then came the client or front end of the app. and what i wanted essentially was to be able to use the back end for a web app as well as scale it to a mobile app if need be. Since i am starting on the web app i decided maybe angular(4 not JS) might be a framework i could use, but finding out that i would take a blow in SEO because it is an SPA is a humongous turn off. Then i hear about angular universal and i think Okay, but then your libraries might take a slap if they directly access the DOM or so. I read so much of it at this point i can't differentiate between opinion and fact.so my question is this, what do you recommend to make the front end of the application for it to also be SEO friendly: here are what i thought are options but still remain undecided:1. Using a templating engine: While it might help with SEO, i thought it might hurt if i try to make a mobile app with the same backend,2. React but i was still turned of because of the whole SPA not SEO friendly thing.Sorry for the long post any help please!!!!
