Hi, I'm Dan, and I use Angular. ☺️ In my experience with Angular, it's probably overkill for a small side project like this. Where I think it really shines is in two places. First, refactoring. Typescript gives you a lot of flexibility and confidence when making a major refactor that you probably aren't going to break anything without the compiler catching it. Second, it works really well when you have a large team working on a project. AngularJS was a little loosey goosey with it's opinions so you could really paint yourself into a corner if you weren't careful, but with the CLI Angular is fairly opinionated while still being flexible. And that's great for large teams where everyone needs to be on the same page as far as where to place new stuff.
I wouldn't recommend it for small side projects, Vue or React are better for those for sure. And I'm not saying Vue or React aren't good for large projects either. Just that I think the pull for enterprises is that Angular really works well for large complex projects.
