Hey all, just looking for some advice. I'd like to do a WASM application, just generally like a calendar + notes app. I'd like it to work on mobile and desktop through the browser. It'll be served through Actix with Diesel for the backend. For the "frontend" I was thinking egui or leptos.

I'd like to avoid any JavaScript, so thought SSR might be the best approach.

Any thoughts/pitfalls? Should I look at something else for the frontend?

Its a lot of working parts for a calendar + notes app, but this will be a testing ground to see if I can get it all going :S

We have a web-UI of medium complexity in Leptos at $DAYJOB and haven't written a single line of JavaScript. Occasionally, you need to read the JS documentation on MDN, because the Rust code is generated like the JS, but that's also why you don't need to write JS, because there's a corresponding Rust API.
