Alternative frontend

[clonejo]

Hello jo-m,

i have started an alternative frontend with server-side rendering, a demo can be seen at https://trains.shakik.de/s/

It is pretty bare-bones for now, and i don't intend for it to reach feature-parity with your Vue frontend.

Notable features:

• automatic reloading of the front page whenever a new train has been recorded
• horizontally scrollable thumbnails
• loads fairly quickly
• (best of trains list, but that requires an additional table with view statistics, and it's broken with trains_v2)

Currently i have put up the code at https://gitlab.aachen.ccc.de/clonejo/onlytrains-frontend-rs/.

I am wondering if you would want to take the code into the main trainbot repo, but i assume you don't want to take maintainership for a bunch of Rust code :)
It is probably better if i just host a separate repo, then it is clear the frontend is not always kept up to date with trainbot and i can just push/review changes myself.

Best,
clonejo

Nice!

I think to keep things uncomplicated, it is easier if you keep hosting the repo under your control. If you want, you can make a MR to link to the alternative frontend from the main README.
