Forking the frontend
Is it possible to run another frontend against the current backend?

If so, and I think that's what the backend API was designed for, among other things, I would suggest avoiding further discussions on A11Y, UX, animation effects and style issues by forking the frontend. Mr. Hanke and Mr. Sautner (and myself) could implement their ideas there. Of course, we would make sure that we stay in sync with the development of the mother frontend, so that at a later time, and God willing, the fork can be merged back.
