+/* 
+
+Welcome to the code of #DashboardFE (or #DashFE if you like it better)
+If you are reading this, you are in for a big adventure where all your
+patience will be tested.
+
+I will try to add comments to all pieces of code that may seem confusing
+or hard to understand how they work.
+
+While the frontend is coded in a procedural style, i think i coded it to 
+be simple enough to be easy to understand. I suggest you to check first
+the code of this file, then the code of the included files ("include/init.php" and 
+include/functions.php") which will give a better understanding on how the FE
+operates.
+
+The frontend also does most of the processing of the posts on the server side. Why?
+I wanted this frontend to be available to people that does not like to use javascript
+or where javascript is not an option (old phones/computers). This makes the 
+frontend very fast to navigate on older devices. Javascript is used mostly to make the 
+FE more dynamic in "normal" situations, but it is not required.
+
+This was mostly coded in a non-serious way and i lack many of the training
+that most people may have, you could say that i just put things together 
+until they work, so if you want to help me to make it better, i will be
+so grateful
