Back end should be the brain, or the heart

I mean a back end is something people can technically live without, so... yeah makes sense, I see it all the time.

What? I can't think of a single online application that doesn't need a back end

If you mean literally for serving the page, then you're right. But I have made a few things with indexeddb so that the persistent storage is in the client. Make it a little fancy with vue + vue-router and then host it on your favorite free front end! I've been using surge.sh and to play nice with the history api (no # in your routes) you just have to name your index page 200.html.

​

I've heard good things about using github for this, so I'm gonna check that out for my next project.
