  Thank you for the kind words.

  Won’t lie, the main reason that I stuck to a vanilla frontend approach is because I didn’t know what else to do. I’ve never been a frontend dev, and never wish to be either. So I looked at an older project, and started by trying to replicate it. In hindsight, it was probably a good decision. The backend is more intentional though, and I do try to keep things simple and neat.
