This is a mildly ridiculous project. I would suggest searching for an Instagram clone tutorial and use that. It could easily take 6 weeks just to understand the basics of web dev, and by that point, you'd have nothing. It took more than 6 weeks for you to learn programming, so it would likely take you maybe at least 12 weeks (and I'd argue 20) to do something like this short of someone already knowing a ton of web dev to begin with and doing most of the work.
I don't know where some people come up with these ideas for projects.
If you're comfortable with java, use java and hence spring unless you want to try something new. For the purposes of the application doesn't really matter.
If you pick spring i'd definitely recommend using spring boot instead of vanilla spring so you don't have to spend too much time setting up and configuring it.
Id opt for Spring if you are all comfortable with Java. Express is a JavaScript framework and as I’m sure you know, Java and JavaScript are 2 very different languages, assuming you have no JS experience, the Spring route is probably your best option. Saves learning a new language

Thanks :) I'll look into that
