Ask HN: Django REST or Django?

4 points by SimbaOnSteroids ↗ HN
For context: I'm very new to both coding and taking on my own side projects.

I'm in the early stages of making a website (read planning it out and finishing tutorials in Django) and I see a potential problem on the horizon with my current plan.

The current plan to build and deploy an MVP which is literally just an index of links to Youtube. However all the other things I want to do with this site will end up requiring some heavy modification of the DOM which will probably have to be done with a library like Angular/Vue/React. Should I build my MVP as a Django REST backend coupled with an Angular/Vue/whatever frontend to save time later when I go to implement additional features or should I rush to an MVP by just using plain Django and deal with the headache of maintaining the MVP while designing the bigger system?

Any advice y'all could give me would be much appreciated, I know this forum is web developer heavy so I thought I'd ask here first.
