@matmair The biggest UX win would be working with JS disabled

@morgan that is not possible with the current frontend architecture; we moved away from frontend templating due to constant security / access control issues and poor boundaries between data access and presentation.
If you have a solution for that that does not involve JavaScript while having the same type checking support I would happily review. We did not find one 2.5 years ago when the current architecture was chosen but I am open to any new developments,

@matmair I'm a big proponent of just letting Django do it's job, but then I don't quite follow how a JS frontend helps with security, ACL, type checking, let alone a hulking react app. I spent days trying to get running using the bare metal instructions but the react app just refused to generate its CSS. I do a ton of Django work, and I would not call this a stellar dev experience.

@morgan re:complexity we have clear docs, independent ppl have packaged modern InvenTree for several platforms without any support from the core team. Yes it is a new thing to learn but so is any of the separation of concerns libs for Django.
And tbh I stopped caring about outsiders ideas about our devex seing how little actual maintenance anyone outside of the core team ever does. If someone spends time not for their own singular use case but overall quality and reliability I care.
