Thank you for your candid reply Laurent, and for sharing your story. I am truly sorry to hear about the tragic loss of your friend and the subsequent end of your previous project. Dealing with complexity and technical debt can be exhausting, and I completely understand your hesitation regarding new technologies.

You've highlighted a very real concern about maintenance and security, especially with the recent issues around npm supply chain attacks.

I suggested Angular because it is a powerful, enterprise-grade framework, and I was thinking ahead. My long-term vision includes building a reusable component library on the site. This would allow users to easily upload, share, and manage their custom QElectroTech symbols, turning the website into a more dynamic community resource.

However, I recognize your valid concerns about long-term maintenance overhead.

To keep things simple and secure, I am happy to pivot my initial approach.

Instead of starting with a full framework, I can begin the redesign using just clean HTML, CSS (leveraging Tailwind CSS for efficiency), and pure JavaScript. This approach would:

• Drastically reduce maintenance overhead and external dependencies.

• Keep the codebase simple and lightweight, addressing your concerns about complexity.

• Still deliver a modern and responsive design.

As the website evolves, we could still integrate new features, such as a blog section to share tips, usage guides, and general design insights, without adding unnecessary complexity upfront.

My main goal is to deliver a great-looking, highly functional, and easy-to-maintain website.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this simpler approach.

Best regards,
Carlos Cervantes
