Ask HN: Back enders, how do you build front ends?

Solo backend devs (who do not consider themselves "full stack"), how do you build frontends? Since the earliest days of the web, I have found developing frontend UIs dreadfully tedious and slow. The modern Javascript-heavy frontends do not seem to have reduced the tedium (although they have immeasurably increased the complexity). Do you use some no/low-code systems? The speed at which I can build a server (even without Docker or any orchestration), build a Rails app with a real database, and get useful functionality built is remarkable. But inevitably I need to get information from the user (forms). This is when I find myself doing an obstacle course with rolling luggage. It's not much of a problem in making UX decisions, it's purely a matter of tedious and complex user interactions. This is probably the #1 reason I don't have a big collection of side projects; I hate this part. Please share your tips and strategies! :) TIA.
