Generally the less code, the cleaner the conceptual execution. I always strive to remove and reduce conceptually deceits

Here's some code I wrote earlier, probably a good example

https://github.com/kristopolous/music-explorer/blob/master/w...

It's self contained, not very big, not trying to be fancy, as direct as possible.

It's worth noting a few things:

Some things are repeated when there's no reasonable way to refactor it in a way that simplify things.

No framework. No view/model/controller/provider/orm separation. It's not doing much and it does it fine

Stuff is composed but intentionally not abstracted

Here's a frontend

https://github.com/kristopolous/music-explorer/blob/master/w...

Again, no react or angular or other framework. Just direct modern code.

As far as what it looks like, it's a music player frontend to some sprawling project Example https://9ol.es/pl/
