Ooh I've seen two people recommend PHP so far here! My understanding of PHP was always that it was universally hated by everyone who ever used it, but the way you describe it actually sounds quite appealing.

I, the experienced web dev, would do this in PHP. My reasoning is:
It sounds like the big frameworks are completely overkill for this use case. PHP makes it super easy to make applications like these without a framework.
PHP runs as a daemon/is integrated into the web server, so there's no application server you have to manage yourself. Single .php file, drop in www directory, it's ready to go.
