Making such a frontend for remark42 with complete server-side rendering should be possible. In fact, even now the backend doing a lot of this, for example comments preview rendered this way.
Do you mean front end for mobile or desktop?
I meant server-side rendering for the web. Remark42 exposing all functionality via API and any alternative frontend can be made. I know someone doing android SDK for this. Not sure about ios side.
Why did you select BoltDB over SQLite?
The model it uses is non-relational and KV store was a better fit
Not questioning your decision at all, but can you explain the whole thought process which led you to the conclusion that it is a better fit?
