thank you! You are both right that the wording could use some revamp. Perks of hacking on sth til 3am and writing a dirty README that leaves a stigma for years haha.

Also by "no build" I mostly meant "no bundling". If you look at the source code of the example deployment: https://fullsoak.onrender.com/app - you'd see that every HTML file loads a single .js file. Sometimes we can "lazy load" the entire component .tsx file (if we choose to do so).

So there's no bundling of the whole app into 1 single "entry point". From JSX/TSX to vanilla JS, we do need a "transpilation" step, and right now it's done ad-hoc (on every request). Some caching technique could be employed to make this scale & perform, but it's a topic for another day I guess.

Definitely need to find a coherent wording to describe this whole concept without causing mix up or misunderstanding. Thanks again for pointing these out!
