UI is more important than a flashy backend

Make it pretty enough to attract normal people, they don't care it's built with Rust

@dansup yeah that's why you don't build an SPA but instead render everything server-side. That's why Smithereen feels so instant 😏

@grishka well its not fair because you have so much experience from VK and Mastodon, but for most developers haha.

Also, you can render server side, but SPA is cheaper for most fediverse use cases IMO (and also less security risk, with all the recent react server vulns lol)
