    I love projects like this. Do one thing, super well, without adding a kajillion dependencies. I love the vanilla HTML / CSS approach.

      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 one. 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 clean.
