Is there an alternative "lite" web front-end for Nextcloud?
My Nextcloud instance runs reasonably well on the server side, and my desktop and phone are able to render the web UI reasonably fast when I want to…but I also have a tablet with slow hardware and wifi that is just unusably slow with the Nextcloud web UI.
