The UI from the screenshots look slick, but I can't help but notice that there is barely any JavaScript listed in the repo. Is this a primarily server-side rendered UI?


New developers may not believe this, but javascript isn't needed for a UI


Oh, if I had read further into the README I would have seen this:

> https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee#build

> Lychee is ready to use, right out of the box. If you want to contribute and edit CSS or JS files, you need to rebuild https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee-front.

So their JavaScript source code is in a separate "Lychee-front" repository and they commit the build artifacts into the main "Lychee" repo. Not sure why they would do this.
