@aescling honestly i want to rewrite the mastodon frontend from the ground up without React or Redux but that's an *extremely* distant goal
@Lady who doesn’t want to rewrite mastodon at this point
@aescling eh, the backend i would rather progressively improve than rewrite from scratch at this point
@Lady for whatever reason that’s like the opposite of the preference i would generally expect from somebody interested in mastodev; maybe that’s because i’m just personally most interested in backend stuff myself though, so
@aescling once you actually get your hands dirty with mastodev you realize how many pieces are there and how much work it takes to get a similar product which isn't even as good and i think you cool on the idea of wanting to rewrite mastodon from scratch
@Lady sounds communist to me
@aescling same but the way to address that is to progressively swap out the bad stuff with good stuff not to try a complete rewrite from square one
