Check out svelte, its pretty much native JS.
Doesn’t get much simpler than this https://github.com/ando818/lemmy-ui-svelte/blob/main/src/routes/%2Bpage.server.js https://github.com/ando818/lemmy-ui-svelte/blob/main/src/routes/%2Bpage.svelte
I love SvelteKit. I am a backend dev myself, but this framework made me really get into UI development, just so much easier.
What do you mean by the cors restrictions? I am hosting the front end on the same domain as my backend (just like the lemmy UI) so there shouldn’t be any issues there.
For what its worth, the domain has nothing to do with the project. Its just my personal site for testing
What was difficult about ansible? The 4 step instructions worked perfectly for me.
