What technologies would you use to make a multiplayer browser game?

im a novice programmer and am trying to make a browser game, already have the layout done but im lost when it comes to the rest, the concept is a text based multiplayer strategy game, where the users would interact with eacth other. I think i should go with nodejs but dont know anything else I would need. Ive been advised to use react but dont know if thats the best way to go.
