adopt lushnikov's vanilla viewer? #184

Description

stepping back from #183

I've always thought https://vanilla.aslushnikov.com/ is quite nice and competes well against this version. (I especially like that it needs very little maintenance).

The only reason I didn't adopt it wholesale a few years ago was SEO concerns. (cuz ours is SSG but vanilla is entirely clientside). At this point, i'm not sure there's a meaningful distinction between the SEO performance of the two sites.

two queries that are among our top 25 search queries:

indexing-wise they seem fairly equivalent with useful context in the snippet, but i'd probably give edge to vanilla since the page title matches the method name exactly. vanilla also navigates you directly to the correct scroll position. unexpected but it works!

for a more general and common search

here ours has the related links that i never see with vanilla. so we got an edge.

all in all, i'm interested in adopting his and living that maintenance free life, baybee!
curious for your thoughts @TimvdLippe
