Starting from scratch and keeping the good ideas in mind seems like a good
thing to do sometimes. It's better to start again on a good foundation. All
the work that has been done so far will not be lost :)
I'll try to help as much as I can with my weak knowledge in this new
adventure if that's the chosen direction.

So, I've got an idea. But I'm not about to pull the trigger on it
without first floating it by you all and getting buy-in from you all.
I'd like to throw away the current implementation of comixed-frontend.
TBH, I'm finding that it's going to be a LOT of work to refactor it to
use NgRx selectors and the new actions, reducer model, etc. And then
to migrate from PrimeNG to Angular Material is going to be another
huge set of pains that I'm not sure we want to deal with going
forward. We will be able to unload some of the crappier design ideas I
implemented, we can borrow from the existing code to keep the logic
that already works, and have a better UX as a result. And we could
also fix a lot of weak areas in the REST APIs, such as loading library
updates, especially deleted comics, removing comics from reading
lists, etc.
So I'd like to take a vote: would you rather we ditch the current UX
(the whole backend will stay as is) and start building a better, more
evolved UX from the ground up?
Thoughts? Opinions?
